The Newsroom (1996)

Canada, Best Comedy Series 2005. Not the Aaron Sorkin drama: this is Ken Finkleman's acid Canadian satire, which got there first. Finkleman created it and stars as George Findlay, the vain, image-obsessed executive producer of a never-named TV station's nightly newscast, and the show skewers everyone in the building. It aired on CBC across three short seasons and 32 episodes between 1996 and 2005. It can take some finding now, which is exactly why it belongs on a list about tracking things down; fans of The Larry Sanders Show will feel right at home.
