Ok, then what about Muvhango and Speakout? Does their exclusions from the list mean that they are bad, or they not watched. I am also puzzled about the number of viewers "Lesilo rula" and "Ke kgwebo yaka ye" have. These shows are repeats, I watched them when I was a kid, I don't understand why they were repeated. Anyway, thats the SABC to you, repeats and delayed soccer. When are we going to see something fresh and new, and not something adopted from the US or UK.

Interesting as much as Generation is boring it still has the highest number of viewer. We are very loyal they shld give us better story lines.

I think there's an error here. Muvhango is usually the number one show on 2.

eh people are really dissing Muvhango..the drama cum soapie did not even make it to top ten of SABC2 shows...and the last I think it had 1 or 2 million nviewers.

Mnet must just forget about reaching 1 million mark because majority of Mzansi people cannot access their channels....

I wonder what's interesting about Lesilo rula.....

Cutting Edge normally presents very moving stories that one can cry...and last night's episode about rats did not scare me that much.....

Am also surprised about Isidingo, in my opinion their storylines are much more interesting than Generations. And Generations still gives us crap storylines with so much loyal viewers. Never heard of 'Lesilo Rula'. Really surprised people still watch Skwizas since it's a repeat, at least they removed Montana for Sokhulu & Partners which is just as great. It's time they put something on Wednesdays SABC1 19.00, that's primetime and should be for at least fresh and entertaining programmes, I mean repeats should be for times nobody is watching television. Who still watches Delta Force in this day and age, counting how many times they have repeated those films. Lastly, I don't get why they put M-Net figures with SABC and e.tv since M-Net isn't on the free-to-air networks...

I'm not quite sure how it happened, but somehow the Muvhango figures were left off by accident.  Sorry about that, and thanks to those of you who picked it up.
