On July 13, Showtime premieres what it’s calling an uncensored look at the San Francisco Giants as they come off a World Series Championship. MLB Productions has been filming inside the Giants to produce “The Franchise” which began as a sneak preview before the season began. Now, we get to see what happens during the season. Of course, Giants closer Brian Wilson, aka “The Beard”, is a huge part of this series and Showtime provides us with a quick look at his humor which is quite warped.
The show will air at 10 p.m. ET/PT on Wednesdays on Showtime. We have a quick blurb and some video of “The Beard” showing off that warped sense of humor.
