Watch The Newsroom full HD Free

The Newsroom is a comedy-drama series that aired on CBC Television during the1996–1997,2003–2004, and 2004–2005 seasons. In 2002, the two-hour television movie Escape from the Newsroom was shown. The episode is set in the newsroom of a television station that is never formally identified, but is usually considered to be based on the CBC. Inspired by the American series The Larry Sanders Show and similar to such earlier series as the British Drop the Dead Donkey and the Australian Frontline, the series mined a dark vein of comedy from the political maneuverings and sheer incompetence of the people involved in producing the station's evening newscast, City Hour. The Newsroom became one of the most critically acclaimed programs on Canadian television in the 1990s, despite the fact that it was never intended to be a continuing series. Following the conclusion of The Newsroom, Finkleman produced three short-run series for the CBC, titled More Tears, Foolish Heart, and Foreign Objects, which all used Findlay as a connecting character.
