Generations gone up by 300 thousand, Isidingo down by a hundred thousand - so much for being good.

@bomyy and people keep saying it's good, why can't they get Scandal viewers if they are so good. Why can't they be in the top five if they are so good? Numbers don't lie...

they even got an award... AN AWARD! for being the best, best in what? having the least viewers?

i never like to talk bad about other soapies but isidingo fans just have too much peperepe!

not forgetting that the soapie which is always labeled as boring is the best watched show in the whole country, and instead of it loosing viewers they gain them! if generations was as bad as they say it was it would not be number one in the country! it would not be above every other show!

People WATCH GENerations out of habit @ zara baby... oh no, not sooooo many people in south africa are that tolerent, if people watched because of a habit then it really would not be this high, and have you noticed how the ratings have increase by more than 100 000? habit my foot! people love generations and they love watching it, end of story.

@bommy I totally agree, and if you do it out of habit there is a point where you will get tired, so why don't they get tired, why does it keep getting new viewers. If it's out of habit then why is Isdingo losing viewers, because if they are so good they should be keeping the viewers that they have, not lose them. Why lose them? They are not interested in the storyline, that's why. So they keep fluctuating up and down because there's no consistency. But Generations maintains it's viewers. People must just stop living in denial they enjoy Generations period and it has even improved so much now. Better than before...

Habit? no ways. no one can cling on to something out of habit when there are  so many gr8 shows playing on tv, unless u find pleasure in it. habits change kaloku. people watch generations bcoz they enjoy watching it. tshini who can tolerate such "boredom" in the name of habit,,,,,in such a democratic "world of tv"
