[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]FEBRUARY 27, 2006 -

[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]NBC Universal Television Group has signed a development deal with Galan Entertainment for the production of telenovelas in English that could air on both NBC and its cable siblings. The programming will not be soap operas in the traditonal American sense, but will have the sensibilities of Hispanic telenovelas. The deal also calls for other programming with "Spanish-language formats."

My own personal opinion of these "Telenovelas" is that these are idiotic programming with a basic plot that is well known after the first episode.

Boy meets girl - boy loses girl - someone gets shot - they live happily ever after.

do they really think that the ratings are going to go through the roofs on these? I hope this whole thing falls on whomever is making these days on their face. Idiotic at best.
