I remember this series well. When it was scheduled to go off the air,I even wrote a letter to CBS President William Plain to try to keep it from being canceled. John Houseman's portrayal of Kingsfield is classic.

I used to watch this show on cable TV in 1993. I loved it. Does anyone remember the channel? It wasn't like HBO or Showtime or some premium movie channel, but a regular cable channel like USA or something.

ewueagle, did you record this from the original CBS broadcast?
-
Haven't seen this since it was first broadcast circa 79 but remember this opening episode well. Recall an unseen chartcater called 'the screamer' used to haunt the dorms - a tormented soul driven completely mad by Kingsfield! Superb writing and acting all round.

@ewueagle This was just about the last decent show on tv

God, I remember this show too...Wow, we are getting old...

I liked the TV show better than the movie because it developed the story in much more detail. While the first episode was mostly taken from the movie, subsequent episodes expanded the saga.

Good luck with your ambition. The hiring freeze in education is really dreadful for faculty and students alike. I hope you find a great position.
This is practically recycled right out of the motion picture or is it the reverse? which came first the movie or the TV show? Kingsfeild is even more of a dick in this then the movie ? Is that supposed to be Bell behind and to the left of Hart? Is the Robot pimp in the TV show?

@rayyf69 The movie came first, then the TV show. There was a completely new cast of people playing Bell, the robot pimp, Heart ETC... Very few of the origional movie actors played in the TV series. To me, this was very odd. I still enjoyed the series anyway.

I never thought for a minute anyone would even look at this. I thought it was something cool to post on youtube. Good Lord, I am at 13000 views. I wonder if they put this series on air in syndication if it would be a hit. I bet people would love that.

@ewueagle I actually am going to use it for a "College Success" class for students at the Community College I teach at: an example in preparation, first impressions, and the need to bite your tongue (at times) when in a "dynamic professor's Kingdom" (uh, classroom). I just looked up The Paper Chase, and I was looking for the "Shroud" scene-and here it is! LOL! Excellent show, and thanks for the post!

@kolbek2001, I am glad you enjoyed this. I wanted to teach at a community college, but there is no place for me here in my home town of Spokane. I am happy to see that this video will be of some use to you. I used it a few times in my graduate work in education and adult training(M.Ed). I hope It continues to inspire others.
