Based on an unforgettable 1973 movie, the series focused on the lives of students struggling through law school at a prestigious university.
The series lasted only one season on CBS with 22 episodes, from 1978 to 1979, and this boxed station from Bawl!Factory collects those episodes, which revolves around the students’ first year of ‘trial’ and tribulatios.

PBS reran the series then the cable channel Showtime revived the series in 1983, where it lasted for three more seasons.
The series centered around student James T. Hart, a core cast of fellow-students, and one truly dominant force of nature in the get of a legendary law professor, Charles W. Kingsfield Jr., played beyond iconic perfection by the amazing John Houseman.
Houseman had starred as Kingsfield in the movie version, then unbelievably reprised the role on the petite conceal to the delight of his fans. Sadly, Houseman died a year after the Showtime incarnation of the series ended.
Hart, played by James Stephens in the series, and by Timothy Bottoms in the movie, is a hard-working student from Minnesota whose background ill prepares him for the rough and drop of law school.
Hart is utterly apprehensive and fascinated by Kingsfield, who challenges his students so vigorously that he has become a record in his possess time, and his classes are both loathed and cherished.
The professor, the undisputed authority on contract law, becomes an unwilling and unknowing mentor to Hart, who decides he will do anything he can to meet and exceed the expectations of the master legal-eagle. By the time the series ends on Showtime, Hart graduates.
While the series explores the relationship between Hart and his co-students who compose a gawk group, it is Houseman’s Kingsfield that inhabits every scoot of the explain, even when he is not on veil - a lasting testimony to the actor’s skill.
Stephens and Bottoms have devoted fan bases who argue one actor’s portrayal is the quintessential Hart. For me, Stephens brings a sensitivity and likeability that Bottoms does not. Of course, Stephens had many episodes to imbue the character with his style.
In the series, Hart’s best friend, Franklin Ford III, is played by Tom Fitzsimmons, while actors Willis Bell, James Keane, and Betty Harford, (Kingsfield’s secretary) round out the core cast in the first season, which aired on CBS.
The joy of the indicate was the titanic scripts which managed to combine humor, tension and astonishing stress caused by constant, rigorous glimpse, with friendship and deeper, philosophical issues brought up by the proper topics they were learning. In short, it was one of the best cancelled TV series EVER!
This boxed status includes the 22 episodes from the CBS season: The Paper Breeze Pilot; Spacious Expectations; The Man Who Would Be King; A Day in the Life of…; Voices of Silence; Nancy; Da Da; The Seating Chart; Moot Court; Kingsfield’s Daughter; The Sorcerer’s Apprentice; Bell and Love; An Act of Desperation; Losing Streak; The Man in the Chair; A Matter of Honor; The Apprentice; Once More With Feeling; The Clay Footed Idol; The Tables Down at Ernie’s; A Case of Détente; and Scavenger Hunt.
As others have written, “The Paper Slip” is one of the best, most compelling dramas ever made for television. A distinguished darling when it first aired, it was really too radiant and did not derive a astronomical enough audience on CBS. However, it was so advantageous that it fair would not die quietly. After gaining more kudos in reruns on PBS, Showtime brought it befriend several years later luring abet the key players from the first season to continue in “The Paper Scurry - The Second Year” and “The Paper Straggle - The Third Year.” Showtime finished its urge with a final six episodes called “The Paper Bolt - The Graduation Year” which was actually a continuation of the third year. It maintained an astounding level of excellence from the first season through its Showtime years.
Based on the recent by John Jay Osborn Jr. The Paper Dash and the motion characterize of the book The Paper Trek, the television series far surpasses the quality of its predecessors. It reminds me in some ways of “M*A*S*H,” the series, which was far and away better than its current book and movie. Unfortunately, unlike “M*A*S*H,” once Showtime finished “The Paper Slump” more than 20 years ago, it has been rarely seen since. It is so well written, so well acted, so compelling and dramatic, that it deserves a chance to gain a current audience on DVD.
If you watched it in its day and liked it, please catch a copy and reveal the distributor (Wail Factory) that there is a market for the rest of the series. Even if you did not explore it when it first aired, but you bask in shimmering, thought-provoking drama, give it a try and spread the word. You don’t have to be a lawyer or law student to identify with the characters and the daily events in which they win themselves. It’s a yarn and television series for all of us.
