Whoop whoop! Generations won again. I think its safe to say that Gen has beaten Uzalo when it comes to 2016 ratings. Im happy. My only issue is how boring the show is.

Even in the past, Gen would remain on top even though it was going through a dull and boring spel. That said, I think the show needs a new head writer

Thanks, deziclesthagawd. I'm quite amazed by Skeem Saam's figures.

@show-time, I believe that skeem saam is benefitting from the exit of 7de Laan from 18:30. I suspected as much. Good for them anyway.

It is shocking to me that 7de laan has more viewers than isidingo .I wonder why ppl don't watch isidingo .

@max85, Isi is actually so good. I think its a mentality thing, people have written off Isidingo and nothing and no one will make them go back. So sad.

to be honest isidingo lost its mojo the show is dull and tired..i thought the script had improvement bt no no no..zamndelas got *bleep!* storyline,sibekos are dead alive, then nikiwe and Gabriel are just painful, calvin i dnt know...whole cast is just all over the place...sophie ndaba is better than all of them

@dezicles its very sad that people are just not interested in isidingo .it has a steller cast but ratings are bad .talking of Sophie Ndaba what is happening with her teeth ,she looks weird to me .
