[1] The first series ran on Network Ten for 18 episodes, with the original production order extended due to the success of the show.

Series 2 had a planned hiatus after episode 10 on 18 April 2010 and returned to finish its run on 1 August 2010.

[4] On 22 January 2012, it was announced that the show would begin airing Series 4 on 1 February 2012 in an 8 pm timeslot.

[5] In September 2017, it was announced that the show would be revived on the Nine Network for 8 episodes with Micallef returning as host.

Each team captain is joined by a different guest each episode who is part of their respective generations.

(For example, Ian Smith and George Negus have featured as Baby Boomers but are actually members of the Silent Generation.)

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 final round, called End Game, sees all teams trying to complete a physical task, usually to be judged by Shaun.

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.

The teams pick one of four buttons from the window which are labelled with the genres (Art, Brands, Celebrities, Film & TV, Language, Leisure, Lifestyle, Music, News & Current Affairs and Sport) of the game that is featured in that button and later, things or people relating to a certain subject.

[15] The premiere episode of the show debuted with an average of 1,648,000 viewers, coming in first for the night and fourth for the week.

In addition, Shaun Micallef was nominated for both the Gold Logie and the Most Popular Presenter awards for his work on the show.
