I know things can get rather tricky after a long time and one might start running out of creative ideas to sustain a screen play or other but I have so much faith in Naomi Kamau's potential to take Mother-in law to hihger levels inspite of the long seasons it has ran. I am glad they are making very good use of the new media-especially the internet to collect viewrs' opinions and suggestion-they have a facebook page of which I am a fan, and the Citizen website offers a chance for comments to various programmes via links, etc. If we all(especially the COM364 class members of Daystar University-current and old) make use of these media to give helpful comments and suggestions for improvement of our local programmes, I am hopeful that local television and film productions in Kenya, East Africa and Africa stands a great chance of leading the international market in its own way. Like I mentioned earlier, we must tell our stories in our own way, and this way we will impact our society positively.
My last words on Mother-in law: I so love this programme, and to all those involved in it at various levels, I say "kipindi yenu iko sawa. keep it up, up, up, and further up!!
Love, Helene Mayele

TEN postings at a ago!! Kudos to myself. I enjoyed posting these critiques as much as I enjoyed watching the episodes-well, I always watch it so... But truly, this programme and many other local Kenyan programmes-Tahidi High, Makutano Junction, Papa Shirandula, Inspekta Mwala, Tabasamu, and the list is endless are DEEP stuff. True manifestation of positive growth in the film and television industry. We must join them in the work or support them in any way we can-like watching them. They tell the real African stories from the true African perspective. What a redemption!
