00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.680
Is A League of Their Own
a home run for families?

00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:06.083
[Music plays]

00:00:06.083 --> 00:00:08.400
"If you want the game to be
more exciting, shorten the skirts."

00:00:08.400 --> 00:00:11.888
Well, it's a great show,
but things get a bit edgy.

00:00:11.888 --> 00:00:12.560
[Girl groans]

00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:15.920
Set in the 1940s and
rooted in history, this

00:00:15.920 --> 00:00:18.000
sports drama tracks the 
formation of the

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.120
first women's professional
baseball league in the U.S.

00:00:21.120 --> 00:00:22.720
"No pants."

00:00:22.720 --> 00:00:23.360
"...what?!"

00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:26.320
Like the film that inspired it,
the series explores themes

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.040
of gender, race, and sexuality.

00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:31.840
Characters work hard to
break barriers, facing

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:35.360
discrimination in the process,
but they still persevere.

00:00:35.360 --> 00:00:38.720
Other messages include the
importance of honesty, teamwork,

00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:40.480
and being true to yourself.

00:00:40.480 --> 00:00:42.320
"Hey, doll-face!"

00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:45.760
Red flag-wise, be ready for
F-bombs and S-words, plus

00:00:45.760 --> 00:00:48.560
smoking and drinking,
sometimes to excess.

00:00:48.560 --> 00:00:50.080

00:00:50.080 --> 00:00:53.360
Common Sense says A League
of Their Own is fine for teens

00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:57.440
14 and up, and we've named
it a Common Sense selection.

00:00:57.440 --> 00:01:03.188
