Showtime's "The Franchise" Premieres Tonight

"The Franchise: A Season with the San Francisco Giants" makes its highly anticipated debut tonight on Showtime at 10 p.m. ET and below is a speak peek of the premiere episode.

Reviews of the series are all positive, and the tone seems to be more serious than HBO's "Hard Knocks," especially when focussing on how the Giants' travel schedule impacts their families.
