January 15, 201214 yr FWIW, the Herald today mentioned the Marlins are indeed being considered as the team. LOL @ being considered. if we're not the team the show doesn't happen.
January 15, 201214 yr Author Cardinals Talk about a yawnfest. I know they followed the champs last year but they had Brian Wilson. I doubt they will be the team.

January 15, 201214 yr Cardinals Talk about a yawnfest. I know they followed the champs last year but they had Brian Wilson. I doubt they will be the team. Especially the Cards without Albert? It's gotta be the Marlins, Angels, or Rangers... they're the only teams that make any sense.

It's gotta be the Marlins, Angels, or Rangers... they're the only teams that make any sense. Agreed. Throw in the Phillies because they've agreed to reality programs before (The 'Pen) and would still be a pretty big draw.

January 18, 201214 yr Showtime close to hooking Marlins for 'Franchise' Second season of baseball series headed for Miami Showtime and Major League Baseball are believed to be close to a deal that would make the Miami Marlins the featured team in the second season of docuseries "The Franchise." "The Franchise" embeds cameras with its focus team over a period of months to gain on- and off-field insight. A year ago, the series followed the San Francisco Giants in the wake of their 2010 World Series title and averaged 651,000 viewers over eight episodes. In contrast, the Marlins (who changed their name from Florida to Miami over the winter) finished in last place in their division in 2011, but they offer other storylines including a new stadium, a personality-filled new manager in Ozzie Guillen, and established and rising stars in Heath Bell, Mark Buehrle, Hanley Ramirez, Jose Reyes and Mike Stanton. Carlos Zambrano, who was traded to Miami after a volatile 10 years with the Chicago Cubs, could also get considerable on-camera play. http://www.variety.c...807?refCatId=14
January 18, 201214 yr Is this show only on Showtime? Never seen it before. Yes. I planned to watch it last year with the Giants, but then I boycotted it due to the aftermath of the Cousins-Posey collision.
January 18, 201214 yr Is this show only on Showtime? Never seen it before. Yes Do you know if the show will be on the internet after it airs? I want to watch it but dont have showtime.
January 18, 201214 yr Go to youtube and type in "the franchise full" if you want to see last year's show. There's 8 episodes I think. It may not be up for a long time, so if you want to watch it, do it soon.
January 18, 201214 yr So everyone seems to be happy about this. Ok. You don't think they will make the marlins look like a joke? Also, we were all happy to see the manatees go because they were a disgrace and didn't belong in baseball. Seems most here feel the same about the mermaids. How does reality tv fit into baseball, and what are the chances showtime breaks the trend and doesn't try to make the marlins look sh*tty? I'm not sure about this yet (if it happens to be us). Don't think of it as a reality show, think of it as a documentary series.
January 18, 201214 yr This is going to make the marlins a bigger joke. I want to see the show, but at the same time I don't want it to be produced. it's great for publicity but I'm not sure what this group needs is a camera around 24/7. I haven't seen the show so I'll have to watch some footage from last season with the Giants. Like Rab is suggesting, if it's more documentary and less Real World, I'm sure it'll be fine. Oh well, it'll be a ride!
January 18, 201214 yr I don't know if it was The Franchise or not, but the show that followed around the Sox and Ozzie a year or two ago was very interesting and entertaining. I hope this happens.. the more things I can watch that have to do with the Fish that entertain me, the better.
