Simple answer yes if this is a general propose circuit ( not in the code as a dedicated circuit such as thoughs found in kitchens for frig etc..).
You will have a restriction on the number of outlets and receptacles that can go on a circuit.

Thank you, it will be for general purpose, one possibly being for TV. I am going to go buy the code book at homedepot but figured I would ask a few questions on some stuff I was unsure of.

Yes, receptacles and lights can be on the same circuit. But, there are about a half-dozen receptacle circuits in your house on which lighting is prohibited. So, like almost everything else, the answer isn't quite as simple as one would hope.
If you give us more details, we can be more helpful.
