Special Notes

! Generations blasted back to reclaim its legacy in the Number 1 spot this week after Uzalo's dramatic coup d'état last week. Note how both shows broke through the 6 million mark.

Tuesday was a Public holiday - Youth Day.

This was the first week of the Primetime changes to the e.tv schedule.

Despite the obvious dominance by SABC shows, i believe they got a big push by their rival independent competitors.......the battle to see who crumbles first in terms of storyline continues. You gotta luv this!

Lol at coup d'etat

Lol its amazing that the city press was running with the figures that uzalo was number .they didn't even to find out figures for week 25 that's how much media hates Mfundi Vundla

Show-Time
28 Jun 2015 19:19

The media is making a meal out of the ratings to an extent that they can't stop harassing Mfundi Vundla. One will be forgiven for thinking that there is an obvious propaganda since the prophets of doom didn't have their way as they anticipated Generations' downfall at the time a certain etv telenovela came to the scene. That attempt proved to be a dismal failure. The anti-Vundla media is so obssessed to see Generations' demise they can't realise that a legendary soap opera, Isidingo is hanging by a thread. So bad that the Bold and the Beautiful has surpassed it. Until Generations - Legacy is cancelled, we wont here the end of this so-called soapie wars.

Error in spelling. Should've been "hear"

@show -time I agree with u .I wonder why they hate Mfundi Vundla so much ,is it because he owns the brand Generations .black people are not allowed to own anything in this country .they will do anything to destroy and descredit the man .Mfundi is one of the best in this entertainment and arts industry and he will continue to grow beyond expectation.people should learn to move on crzly .those fired actors have moved on to etv ,why is the media still holding on to the hate against vundla .media is wrong

I wonder if it makes any difference that Uzalo only airs 3 times a week...........

Robyn...
29 Jun 2015 17:16

timone the fact that uzalo airs 3times a week is actualy an advantage. I also cant help to agree with u guys Max n showtime, everything u have stated is nothing bt da trueth

generations is the best show

EDMOR

I don't think they dispute Mfundi's talent at all, just the way he handled the 'Notorious 16' saga......he showed a lot of balls and some people couldn't take it. Of course there was a time when the old Generations' storyline lacked creativity and many( including yours truly) felt a change was needed........blessing in disguise as it turns out to be for Mfundi. I only watch the Omnibus, plus Uzalo and Ashes.# Free Country#:*
