Showtime Hopes It Has A New 'Franchise'

摘要

If you are going to have a camera crew spend an entire 162-game season following around a baseball team and try and make a show out of it, chances are good it will get a bit boring. Unless that team is the San Francisco Giants. Showtime executives aren't excited about The Franchise: A Season With the San Francisco Giants (which debuts July 13) because the Giants play in the most beautiful ballpark in the country or even because they are reigning World Series champs. They're bullish on the new show because the Giants are a group comprised of some serious camera-ready characters and a couple of major league whack jobs.
