Welcome to the [[Butt Monkey]] of American network television.
MyNetworkTV
MNTV started off pretending to be a legit network (some stations even changed their callsigns to reflect their new affiliation), airing [[Foreign Remake|English-language versions]] of popular Latin American ''[[Soap Opera|telenovelas]]'' [[Prime Time Soap|five nights a week]]. Try as they might, nothing could get people to watch these shows — most American viewers saw them as trashy and poorly-made even by the low standards of American [[Soap Opera]]s and worth watching only as [[Snark Bait]], while English-speaking Latino viewers (the target audience for many of these shows) saw them as inferior versions of what they were already watching ''en español''. In short, everyone thought it sucked. The only markets where the network was barely competitive were [[Los Angeles]] and [[Miami]], but those viewers quickly went away. Only one program, the World Music Awards (which previously set negative ratings records for ABC and FOX), remains from the network's original schedule.
