The Newsroom
The Newsroom is a tv comedy-drama series which ran on CBC Television from the 1996--97, 2003--2004 and 04 --05 seasons. A two-hour tv movie, Escape from the Newsroom, premiered in 2002.
The series is set in the newsroom of a tv channel that's never officially named, but is known to be predicated on the CBC itself. Inspired by American series The Larry Sanders Show and like such earlier series as the British Drop the Dead Donkey and the Australian Frontline, the series mined a dark strand of comedy from the political machinations as well as the utter incompetence of these people involved with producing City Hour, the channel's nightly newscast.
Though not initially thought to be a continuing series, the initial run of 13 episodes directed The Newsroom to grow into perhaps one of their programs on television in the 1990s.
Following end of this Newsroom, Finkleman produced three distinct jelqing series including Foolish Heart Tears, the CBC and Foreign Objects, most of which included Findlay as a linking character.
