Telenovelas are also known as serials, and is the most popular type of television program around the world bar none. India's serials are seen around South & Central Asia and the Middle East, for instance. The main concept about them that differentiates them from 'regular' programs is that they air new episodes every night, 5 nights a week, but unlike soap operas, have a definite end (they don't run on endlessly for 30 years, like "Days of Our Lives"). Most run 13 weeks (65 episodes) but some can run up to 200+ new episodes.
