'''''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]]''. ==Quotes== '''Shaffik:''' They [the [[Liberal Party of Canada|Liberal Party]]] stood up and sung, like a bunch of sheep! '''George:''' Better to be ruled by a sheep than a [[demagogue]]. '''Shaffik:''' Spoken like a true Canadian! (Audition for the part of a Cabinet Minister) '''Director:''' Okay, you're being sodomized... Try to make it real. '''George:''' The tear of sentimentality... is the opposite of the tear of compassion. ==External links== * [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149492/ ''More Tears'' at IMDB] {{drama-tv-prog-stub}} [[Category:Canadian drama television series]] [[Category:CBC network shows]] [[Category:1998 Canadian television series debuts]]
