"Forty Years On" - All-new interviews with creator James L. Brooks and cast members Denise Nicholas and Michael Constantine

A compelling half-hour series about life at a multiracial Los Angeles high school, it left an indelible mark on popular culture by exploring socially relevant issues (more than a year before All in the Family) and by starting the still-popular trend of high school television series. Created by the now-legendary James L. Brooks (The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Simpsons, and Rhoda), the program was praised for dealing realistically with such subjects as prejudice and drugs.

Season 1 guest stars include Bernie Kopell, Teri Garr, and Rob Reiner. From the Studio
