MyNetworkTV is getting out of scripted programming.

The network has dropped plans to produce seventh and eighth cycles of telenovelas, and has decided to cease pursuing scripted content of any kind.

"We're not developing anything scripted at this time," said MyNetwork President Greg Meidel. "We don't have one scripted project, other than telenovelas that have already been produced."

Each hour of novelas cost over $200k to produce and scored a 0.4 rating. Reality shows may suck, but they are cheaper and may beat a 0.4. I don't blame them.

You can get telenovelas on Telemundo with English on the closed captioning. Zorro is very good.
