Status: Partially Found

Generation Gap is a lost game show pilot that was never picked up for a full series by Nickelodeon. The pilot was taped at Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida sometime in the early 1990's. It is unknown why it was not greenlit by Nickelodeon.

History

Nickelodeon Studios in Orlando, Florida opened in 1990, serving dual purpose as an attraction and a working studio. The building had two working film studios, often utilized to film game shows. Several famous Nickelodeon game shows were filmed throughout the studio’s years, as well as several pilots.

A 5-minute compilation video was created by former crew members of Nickelodeon Studios for its 10 year anniversary in 2000. This compilation features clips from many shows, someone of which have remained lost or obscure. The only known footage of Generation Gap online is in this compilation. There are around 5 seconds of the pilot, but without the original audio. There is very little information about this pilot available otherwise, and whether or not Nickelodeon still has the footage remains unconfirmed.
