Seasons

Season 1

1996· 13 episodes

The half-hour comedy is set in the tumultuous TV newsroom world of George Findlay. The overbearing regional news director is solely motivated by casualty statistics which will improve his ratings.

Season 2

2004· 13 episodes

Fans who have long awaited the return of the show's clever and provocative satire will not be disappointed to see George Findlay and his staff back in the newsroom, where pettiness and moral bankruptcy are taken to new depths.

Season 3

2005· 6 episodes

The third season of THE NEWSROOM, like its previous incarnations, is a deep-down comic microcosm of the world at large. A tangle of a, b, c, and d plots-the show mixes love, politics, bureaucracy, equality, violence, religion, marriage, sex and hunger and, in the end, makes perfect, hilarious sense.
