'''''More Tears''''' was a [[Canada|Canadian]] television series, which aired on [[CBC Television]] in [[1998]]. The series was a short run [[dramedy]], produced and written by [[Ken Finkleman]] following the success of his [[1996]] series ''[[The Newsroom]]'', and was in part a remake of [[Federico Fellini]]'s ''[[8½]]''.
Finkleman also starred in the series as ''George Findlay'', the same character he had played in ''The Newsroom''. In ''More Tears'', Findlay was now a [[Documentary film|documentary]] producer, who readily manipulated his documentary subjects in order to create better television. In the final installment, Findlay abandoned the documentary form to film a brutal satire of the [[neo-conservative]] government of Ontario premier [[Mike Harris]]. The show also explored Findlay's personal life, including his unhappy marriage and extramarital affairs.
The cast also included [[Hrant Alianak]], [[Arsinée Khanjian]], [[Leah Pinsent]], [[Evan Solomon]], and [[Kenny Vadas]].
Finkleman's next project for the CBC was the series ''[[Foolish Heart]]''.
