They took the original telenovela and converted it into the traditional American style weekly drama format, they didn't try to convince people to watch every single night of the week.

That seems to work. Even though it sucks. Um, “Ugly Betty” is an English-language version of a telenovela. That seems to work.

Mix that with poor promotion (MNT's marketing needed to focus on the viral and trying to get their equivalent of the Flavor of Love spitting incident on YouTube) and it really looks like Fox didn't understand what it would take to make MyNetwork TV work out.
