Season 1 Review: Ferrell Takes the Field, meanwhile, finds a middle ground: It’s short on big laughs, but admirable nonetheless for Ferrell’s ability to disappear into his characters. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The backstory, frankly, is much better than the special, and one wishes more of it had found a way into this 49-minute project. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Tired, self-amused, occasionally boorish, entirely dull and much (much) more about Ferrell than baseball, Campaneris, or those charities. The joke is a long one. Read full review
