624: Teed Off At The Hawk

Will Leitch is back for a very sportsy episode, as we contemplate Will Ferrell’s new golf sitcom, *The Hawk* — as well as when Ferrell got in a rut and how he could get out, why the universe thinks we need TWO golf shows right now, and what the show could have done to avoid wasting talented co-stars (“been a movie instead” is probably the answer). We went Around The Dial with *The Five Star Weekend*, *Breaking Bad*, and *High Potential*before Sarah teed up a first-season *Sports Night* for Canon consideration. *The New Yorker* won, *Big Bang Theory*lost, and we waded into the ever-proliferating recap-podcast water hazard for Game Time.
