The Newsroom: Episode 1 - Free Movie Download

Plot

The first of many jewels in CBC's crown of comedy by Ken Finkleman, the now infamous The Newsroom was a critical success, audience-pleaser and attention-getter. The Newsroom offered the unsuspecting public a glimpse into the machinations of the inner sanctum of the local news. And what a scary picture that was....

Overbearing news director George Findlay - played by series writer, director and executive producer Finkleman - is obsessed with casualty statistics in his quest for ratings, and in acquiring an indoor parking spot.

The tumultuous newsroom also features Peter Keleghan as the self-absorbed anchor Jim Walcott, Tanya Allen, the intern with attitude, and Mark Farrell as an ass-kicking producer. Other characters are deftly portrayed by Jeremy Hotz, Karen Hines, and Dave Hubbard.

Celebrities who paraded through the newsroom in cameo roles include sports heroes Alex Gonzalez, Eddie Shack and Angelo Moscsa and Canadian media stars David Cronenberg, Cynthia Dale, Linda McQuaig and Daniel Richter.

"funny, nasty, unsettling...and the best thing Canadian series TV has offered. Ever." -The Toronto Star

    One of the best TV comedy shows of ALL TIME! If you like shows like The Office and Fawlty Towers, then this might be for you. You can't beat the price (free). I'm planning to download the other episodes, too.
