Great to see So You Think You Can Dance in the Top10! Wasn't sure if it would be being on a Saturday so it's great. Reckon if it were on a different night it's be in the Top 5..

SYTYCD would do much better if it was in the week - right after Generations would be best, to make full use of the 5-million viewer lead-in.

Still - for a Saturday night show it's doing pretty well as it is.

Great to have the TAMS back. :)

may i ask why the f*&^k is "City sesla" the number 1 show in the country? it's such a load of s&*t. it's a disappointing rip-off of the evergreen "Friends". i don't think people know why "Generations" is the most watched soapie in the country. it's because there's no other soapie of its kind premiering at that time. if "Muvhango" and "scandal" were premiering at the same time as "Generations", then that will prove if the soapie really is the most watched show or not
