Encyclopedia > Foolish Heart

Foolish Heart was a Canadian television series, which aired on the CBC in 1999. The series, a short run dramatic anthology, was produced and written by Ken Finkleman following his earlier series The Newsroom and More Tears.


Although the episodes were linked by character interactions, each of the series' six episodes focused on a different character's family or romantic relationship problems. Finkleman also starred in the series as George Findlay, the same character he had played in The Newsroom and More Tears.


The cast also included Arsinée Khanjian, Sarah Strange, Tom McCamus, Nancy Beatty and Patricia O'Callaghan.


Finkleman's next project for the CBC was the series Foreign Objects.

Foolish Heart, Hagfish Hearts (936 words)
An old surgeon once told me that the human heart is foolish; born upside down (it folds and partly reverses direction in fetal development) it works constantly and eats poorly (the two coronary arteries are small and susceptible to the blockage which can cause heart attacks).
In all creatures, the size of the heart is proportional to body mass, and usually the smaller the heart, the faster the heartbeat: in one minute an elephant heart beats 25 times, the human heart beats 70 times, the shrew heart beats 600 times.
It has a regular heart (the brachial heart) and three types of accessory hearts; the portal heart which carries blood from intestines to liver; the cardinal heart which transports blood from the head to the body, and the caudal heart which moves blood from the trunk and kidneys to the body.
