They definitely should have put them on later in the day, but where? 4 pm after SB?

Frankly, they could have axed SB (no offense, SB fans) and used that hour to launch GENERATIONS and another, half-hour soap.  SB had its' charms, but I think it was clear by that point that the show was never going to grow beyond its' devoted, cult following.  GENERATIONS, with some more guidance, could have achieved more appeal with the AMC/OLTL/GH crowd who enjoy(ed) a mix of the traditional with the different.

Maybe. It's too bad NBC didn't just try it as a primetime soap.

 This channel has upload nineteen episodes from 1989.

Thanks for the info. It's rare to find episodes of Generations from this era. 

I think that person sells the complete series, although I don't know if all the episodes exist or come from another site

 

Taurean Blaque most known for his role on Hill Street Blues and playing the first Henry Marshall on Generations passed away.

New soap from Sussman.

The first daytime serial featuring a black family as one of the "core" families (around which story lines develop) debuts today (March 21) on NBC (there are two feeds: noon -12:30 p.m. and 12:30 -1 p.m.). The series centers on three generations of two Chicago families -the Marshalls, who are black, and the Whitmores, who are white. Pat Crowley (Dynasty), Taurean Blacque (Hill Street Blues), Joan Pringle (White Shadow), Lynn Hamilton (Sanford & Son), Gail Ramsey (General Hospital) and Andrew Massett (Days of our Lives) head the cast. Generations was created by Sally Sussman (The Young and the Restless), who will serve as executive producer and head writer. The show is being produced at NBC Studios in Burbank, Calif., by her company, Old Forest Hill Productions, in association with NBC Productions. In a recent press interview, Sussman said she did not create the program specifically with the notion of being the first to focus on a black family. "The fact that they are black is almost incidental to the concept of the show," she said. "What we hope to do is to be able to tell stories about all the generations, not to necessarily focus on just the young people or the older people, but to focus between the relationships and the differing classes and their struggles and the way that they are dealing in the 1990's."

Someone has uploaded the first Christmas episode of Generations from 1989. 

 

Two episodes that I assume from close to the end of Generations from 1991.

Came across an episode of Generations from 1989. Don't know if anyone had seen them online yet. 

 

I love it when episodes of Generations get uploaded. 

 

Vivica Fox, Jonelle Allen, Sally Sussman and (yikes) Anthony Morina are interviewed for an EW oral history on the famous catfight.

Oooooooooooo juicy!!!
