==Premise==
Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida opened in 1990, serving dual purposes as an attraction and a working studio. The building had two working film studios, often utilized to film game shows.<ref>[https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/os-xpm-1990-02-01-9002013135-story.html An article on the history of Nickelodeon Studios.] Retrieved 03 Dec '22</ref> Several famous Nickelodeon game shows were filmed throughout the studio’s years, as well as several pilots.
It is unknown what the premise of ''Generation Gap'' was, though it can be inferred by the name and brief snippet that parents/grandparents would compete against kids.

A 5-minute compilation video was created by former crew members of Nickelodeon Studios for its ten-year anniversary in 2000.
