The Generation Gap featuring special guests Bill Kenny and Ohio Express (Includes intro to "The Honeymoon Race").
The Generation Gap was a primetime American game show that aired from February 7 to May 23, 1969 on ABC. It was originally hosted by Dennis Wholey for the first ten episodes, after which he was replaced by Jack Barry. Fred Foy announced during the entire run.
Two teams of three players competed -- one composed of people under the age of thirty, the other being people over thirty. At least one member of each team was a well-known celebrity, occasionally playing against a relative on the other team.

When I was a teenager in the late 1970s, I could've easily answered the questions of both generations because I was familiar with alot of older generation music, movies, stars, fashions, and slang as well as of my own generation. I was never 'stuck' in my own generation at any age. I loved Dark Shadows and recognized David from it.The older boy sure does look like Mickey, drummer of the Monkees, and has a deep voice for 17. I never heard of this game, must've been in school. 1969, I was in 2nd grade.

An interesting idea for a game show. Original host Dennis Wholey left after a few weeks to do his own syndicated talk show, and was replaced by veteran game show host Jack Barry (it was Barry's first network gig since the 1958 quiz scandals)

This was a real entertaining find and a pleasant way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Thanks for uploading and for keeping the commercials. I'd love to see some network retool this and bring it back! Even if some RU-vid channel were to redo this, it'd be awesome with current celebrities and past celebrities as both game clues and also playing as contestants. Maybe kids are playing against parents and even grandparents. With people loving to watch kids and older generations react to things, this could be a hit!

What a cool game show! What more could you want - the very talented actor David Henesy of Dark Shadows, The marvelous Bill Kenney, and the yicky Ohio Express all in one show!! Apparently it was not a successful show as only 16 eps were made, 10 with Dennis Wholley and 6 with Jack Barry.

@joeblevins1061 7 лет назад

I thought, judging by the title alone, that this would be silly and gimmicky. But it's actually a pretty decent quiz show that treats the contestants respectfully. The celebrity musical guests are great additions to the show. Too bad this thing apparently didn't take off. I could see a revamped version of this working today. I'd never heard of Dennis Wholey, but he's had quite an interesting career of his own, and he makes a fine host here.

@Myke Vision Correct. Thanks for pointing that out. Ohio Express was a bubblegum unit, having done such hits as "Yummy Yummy Yummy," which some would call "Yucky Yucky Yucky" and "Chewy Chewy." Ohio Players did a funky song called "Rollercoaster" in 1975. The only similarity was the word "Ohio" in their names.
