Desire
Desire was an American telenovela which debuted at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT on September 5, 2006, on the new American television network MyNetworkTV, and ended on December 5. It was produced by Twentieth Television. The title, originally intended to refer to a set of telenovelas in the same timeslot, actually only referred to its first installment, previously subtitled "Table for Three".
The program starred Sofia Milos, Michelle Belegrin, Nate Haden, Kelly Albanese, Zack Silva, Jessie Ward, Tanisha Harper. Haden and Silva played two brothers on the run from the Gamarra crime family. The show chronicled the two on their journey from Bayonne, New Jersey to Los Angeles. Along the way, they found themselves in a heated battle of passion, betrayal, deceit and murder over the woman they both loved (played by Belegrin).
The series finale aired on December 5, 2006. The show had 25 principal actors, 250 supporting actors and about 2,000 extras.
The show first emerged in late 2005 as a September syndicated program for the stations on the FOX network to air in a weekend or midday time period. The idea was greenlit by Fox Television Stations Chairman Roger Ailes as a contingency plan for Fox-owned UPN stations. After receiving lukewarm response from stations not owned and operated by Fox, Twentieth Television decided to pitch the show for June 2006 on the premise that teenagers are out of school and planted in front of their TV sets, and that reruns dominate network schedules.
Desire had a few takers for a planned summer syndication run. Twentieth made those stations surrender the show, thanks to a clause in its contract that allows Fox to take away the show if it is carried by a network. It was also briefly considered for placement on The CW Television Network, but was taken off the table by Fox for use on MyNetworkTV.
Desire is based on the 2004 Colombian television program Mesa Para Tres (Table for Three), which aired on Caracol TV. Changes were been made in the location and the plot to make them more palatable to Americans. The serial was known as Table for Three and Three's a Crowd before its debut.
