dbpprop:abstract
  • The Newsroom is an award winning Canadian television comedy series which ran on CBC Television in the 1996-97, 2003-04 and 2004-05 seasons. A two-hour television movie, Escape from the Newsroom, also aired in 2002. In the United States, The Newsroom airs on PBS stations across the country. Set in the newsroom of a television station (never officially named, but clearly based on the CBC itself), the show — which was similar to such earlier series as the British Drop the Dead Donkey and the Australian Frontline — mined a dark vein of comedy from the political machinations and the sheer incompetence of the people involved in producing the nightly news. The original 13 episodes were meant as a short run, not a multiseason series, and became one of the most critically acclaimed programs on Canadian television in the 1990s. Following the end of The Newsroom, Finkleman produced three different short-run series for the CBC, More Tears, Foolish Heart and Foreign Objects, all of which included Findlay as a linking character. (A Findlay-like character with a different surname had also appeared in Finkleman's pre-Newsroom series Married Life. ) However, none of these subsequent series were as well-received by the public or by critics, and the CBC began to seek a new set of Newsroom episodes. Escape from the Newsroom, which included a fourth wall-breaking plot digression in which the characters directly addressed the idea of reviving the series, was meant partly as a sarcastic response to that request. However, Finkleman ultimately agreed to produce 13 new episodes, which aired in the winter of 2004. The last four episodes of the second season were shot as a mockumentary. A third season of The Newsroom, consisting of six episodes, aired on CBC beginning February 14, 2005. All three seasons and Escape from the Newsroom are available on DVD.
