Something like this: 

clear 
set obs 150 
gen id = _n 
expand 30 
bys id: gen t = _n 
gen group = (id<=75) 
gen x = rnormal() if gr == 0 
replace x = rnormal(4,1) if gr == 1 
forv i = 1/150 { 
        if `i' < 76 { 
                local plotline1  "`plotline1' line x t if id == `i', lc(black)  || " 
        } 
        else { 
                local plotline2  "`plotline2' line x t if id == `i', lc(blue) || " 
        } 
} 
 twoway `plotline1' `plotline2' , legend(order(1 "Group 1" 76 "Group 2"))
