"Forest Gump" and "Green Mile" are often ranked on the list of people's favorite movies Tom Hanks, but the real one knows that the "league of their own" deserves the right first place. With his charming, funny and often hard script, this was the movie that signaled a change in Hanks' film career. Before 1992, he mainly starred in comedies; After '92, he is likely to act in serious Oscar projects. It is difficult for some actors to make that transition, but it helps when the film designed to prove your dramatic talents is as strong as this one.

The "League of its own" was a critical success and an instant hit of the box office, the one that was Added to the National Film Archive In 2012 for its cultural importance. Most film fans today are also aware of the Prime Minister's TV series in 2022 "League of its own" that was canceled prematurely Despite his strong critical reception. However, perhaps forgotten is the TV show broadcast in April 1993.

The '93 show was not a restart, but a loose sequel to the film. Following the peaches of Rockford during another baseball season, with several actors returning to reprise their movie characters. Unfortunately, the main characters of the film (like Hanks' Jimi Dugan) were reworked. Other big names like Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell did not return either.

The general consensus at the time was that the TV show seemed as cheap money for the success of the film, but critics seemed at least ready to give him a recording. "The Sitkom series based on films generally does not settle well in grades", "", " wrote the Huntsville Times The Day of the series of the series, "But the debut of this show is good luck to be directed by Penny Marshall, who also directed the theater feature."

"Bomb on your own", "" wrote Mike DuffyTV critic of newspapers at NATOLER. He is torn in the '93 series in brutal fashion:

"Louse writing, a disturbing song for laughter, and the cast does not make a field for comedy dreams. ... a vivid coming from Jonon Lovitz as a sarcastic scout of Baseball Ernie Kapadino offered Chaklehed's unique moments. Loser."

For viewers who would prefer if Hanks returned to Dugan's role, there was little comfort in knowing that he had at least returned to the franchise behind the scenes. He directed the third episode of the 1993 show, "The Curse of the Monkey", though that episode (for the team to get a chimpanzee as a new mascot) was not well accepted. After only three episodes, the series was on a four -month break. He returned in August for two more episodes, and then CBS canceled it before the sixth episode even to air.

No one mourns the end of the 1993 series, but People mourned the end of the "League of their" in 2022. Far from grabing cash, the Premier Video show was a careful, expansive story that was very independently standing. The television series has managed to complete its full first season at least, what show -show Abi Jacehekobson paid tribute after the show was canceled in August 2023. Like she wrote on her Instagram page:

"What happiness I had to say these stories and play this character that I love so much. What a rare thing in life. And so, I'm sad today. To blame this strike's cancellation (which is an essential struggle for fair pay, protection and working conditions, etc. ... Incredibly talented artists and actors.
