What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, the Generation Gap TV series is hosted by Kelly Ripa. It’s reminiscent of segments seen on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and The Generation Gap game show from 1969. The competition pits two teams against each other. Each team is comprised of a teen or preteen and a senior citizen — typically a grandchild and grandparent. The teams compete in five rounds of generation-specific pop culture challenges and bank money for correct answers. By the end, one team will be victorious and the players get to keep the money they’ve banked. As a bonus, an even younger member of the winning team is invited out for “Toddler’s Choice.” The tot is given the opportunity to choose between an expensive luxurious prize and a more appealing one for a young child.
Season One Ratings
The first season of Generation Gap averaged a 0.39 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.05 million viewers in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how Generation Gap stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
Generation Gap has been renewed for a second season which will debut on June 29, 2023. Stay tuned for further updates.
Telly’s Take
Will ABC cancel or renew Generation Gap for season two? Game shows have become a staple for the network’s summer schedule. ABC cancelled some of its existing shows in the past few months, making room for new ones. Though the ratings could be stronger, I think that Generation Gap will be sticking around for a second year.

What do you think? Are you glad that the Generation Gap TV show has been renewed for a second season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series, instead?
The show is a cute show. I like the idea of teaming up a kid and a grandparent. Kelly Ripa is too much of a diva and should not be t he host of the show. Also, I don’t like the idea of a toddler picking between a car and a toy. If the show is renewed for Season 2, they should bring on a new host and a different bonus round.
My mom and i liked the show. We are disappointed that it is no longer on. And we hope it will be back on
I totally agree having a little child decide between a car and toy is ridiculous after people have worked to get to the point they reached.i like the concept of the show but things need to be switched up somehow . Kelly should have her dad on live with Kelly and Ryan. I honestly am not trying to be mean but she is not a game show host.
love the show!!!!!!!
This show is really boring Generation Gap! They state the rules, but then the rules are not followed! At one of the shows a few weeks ago, the younger boy cheated and told his Grandfather the answer and nothing was done about it!
The opposite generation is supposed to ring in if the other generation doesn’t know, but the boy rang in and was given the money when the other young boy didn’t know the answer! Follow the rules!!!
Not interested.
Generation Gap has to go. How stupid to let a little kid choose a prize after the family worked so hard to win. Stupid game.
