''Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation'' is an Australian game show produced by Granada Productions which premiered on Network Ten on 5 May 2009. It is hosted by Shaun Micallef. The first series ran for 18 episodes, with the original production order extended due to the success of the show. A second series of 26 episodes began airing from 7 February 2010. Series 2 had a planned hiatus after episode 10 on 18 April 2010 and returned to finish its run on 1 August 2010. Series 3 began on 8 February 2011.〔 On 27 October 2011, ''Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation'' was renewed for a fourth series. On 22 January 2012, it was announced that the show would begin airing Series 4 on 1 February 2012 in an 8 pm timeslot. ==Format== ''Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation'' (also known as TAYG (pronounced tay-g)) is an hour-long quiz show testing the popular culture knowledge of teams from three different cultural generations. The generation team captains are Amanda Keller (Baby Boomers), Charlie Pickering (Generation X) and Josh Thomas (Generation Y). Each team captain is joined by a different guest each episode who is part of, their respective generations. However, on occasion there have been guests not actually part of the generation they represent on the show. (e.g. Ian Smith and George Negus have featured as Baby Boomers but are actually members of the Silent Generation). Generally guests aged up to 30 are placed in the Generation Y team, guests aged 30–40 in the Generation X team and guests aged 40 and over in the Baby Boomer team. Typically, each episode features six rounds with the three teams competing in various themed games which feature wordplay-based names such as ''What's A Doodle Doo?'', ''Name That Tee'' and ''¡chronoloco!''. One point is awarded for each correct answer, though in practice points can be awarded or deducted at Shaun's own discretion. The first three rounds involve the contestants buzzing in first to give their answer. Games played in these rounds can involve identifying missing television characters from a cast picture, identifying a company name from a partially constructed logo, or identifying a catchphrase and its origin from a T-shirt. The fourth round sees teams choosing from four categories from the main display (dubbed the "magic window"), and often involves their participation on the studio floor on their part. Games include matching up celebrity pairs (such as famous mothers and daughters) on the screen, ransacking a period setting to identify anachronistic items, and performing charades. The fifth round, called "Your Generation" and later ''Yo-Gen'', sees all teams quizzed in turn on themed questions relevant to their particular generation and based on a certain topic or ''Yo-Gen Subject''. In this round, one point is awarded for each correct answer and two points are lost with each incorrect answer. The final round, called ''End Game'', sees all teams trying to complete a physical task, usually to be judged by Shaun. The number of points up for grabs in this round is usually determined by the amount of points that separate the first and third placed teams at this stage of the game; therefore the winner of the ''End Game'' is the winner of the episode. The winning team is presented with a second hand trophy donated by Shaun (first series),viewers (third and fourth series), as a vanity prize. During the second series, a specially made TAYG trophy was presented to the winning team; the trophy featured three people (representing the three generations playing) raising a flag pole with a TAYG flag on top. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Talkin' 'Bout Your Generation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
