Bleacher Bums
(Third Version)

Made-for-TV movie based on the original play
2001






This version of Bleacher Bums is
available in DVD and VHS formats.

We have not seen it, and for
that reason cannot recommend it.

Note: The Channel 11 version of
Bleacher Bums is not available.

  • Shot on location in Toronto, Ontario, CANADA!
  • Cast includes Matt Craven, Brad Garrett
  • Wayne Knight, Peter Riegert, Hal Sparks
  • Directed by Saul Rubinek
  • Chicagoans tend to dislike it much
  • more strongly than non-Chicagoans!

    • The new writers "updated" the show with new characters and new dialog, and those who    
    know the original version don't care for it. Why should they? In this new version:

       
  • The game is played at Lakeview Park
  • It is between the Chicago Bruins and the St. Louis Eagles
  • That seems reason enough to pass this up
  • The Eagles???
