A TV Series about a bunch of Law students, their everyday lives and their effort to make it through Law School. Hart, Ford, Bell and the rest of them have to face Kingsfield,
the most feared of professors but they are determined to study hard and eventually get their diploma.

To help cope with the heavy workload, James joined a study group consisting of other students who worked together sharing notes and assignments.
The group was organized by Franklin Ford - III, a would-be third generation lawyer from a socially prominent family. Others in the group included: Anderson, Bell, Logan and
Brooks - who was the only married person in the group - and who left school after he got caught cheating.


Hart also had a part-time job at Ernie's Pizza. There he met Carol, a waitress who admired him but couldn't understand his deep dedication to his studies. Mrs.Nottingham was Professor Kingsfield's secretary.
When James Hart finally graduated in 1986, he hoped to get a teaching position at the law school he had attended.
His appointment never happened and he joined a law firm in the last original episode.

That 70s Show

An American television sitcom, centers on the lives of a group of teenagers living in Point Place, Wisconsin, a fictional suburb of either Kenosha or Green Bay[1] from May 17, 1976 to December 31, 1979. It debuted on August 23, 1998 and its final episode aired May 18, 2006.
The head of the group is Eric Forman (Topher Grace) who lives under the authority of parents Red and Kitty (Kurtwood Smith & Debra Jo Rupp). Living next door is girlfriend Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) and her parents Bob & Midge (Don Stark & Tanya Roberts). The rest of the gang includes Fez (Wilmer Valderrama), a foreign-exchange student who's soaking up American culture like a sponge, Jackie Burkhart (Mila Kunis), her on-again, off-again boyfriend Michael Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), and Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson), a conspiracy theorist who believes Xerox will take over the world.

Relationships among the teens are explored, the primary focus being between Eric and Donna, who are the responsible ones, as evidenced in episodes such as "Dine and Dash". Their relationship sharply contrasts with the on-again, off-again relationship between Kelso and Jackie, who were usually portrayed as mutually obsessed despite their arguments and denials of love to spite one another. In both relationships, the couples would have harsh disagreements, but would come to terms with their differences. Jackie eventually moved on to Hyde and later Fez as the series progessed.
