Will Ferrell Keeps Dodge Classy As Ron Burgundy

Ron Burgundy is definitely one of Will Ferrell's most iconic characters, and one of modern comedy's most indelible creations. Despite many delays, Burgundy is finally bringing his Channel 4 News Team back in Anchorman: The Legend Continues.

Usually, the show’s strongest episodes revolve around one main family event, whether it is a dinner or birthday celebration. The more subplots and storylines that the show’s writers stuff into an episode, the fewer credible character-driven moments there are.
