The original Star Trek series had "The Way To Eden," featuring the generation gap between Kirk and the episode's "space hippies."

Law and Order had some of this with Lennie Brisco and his younger partner Ray Curtis. Lenny: "I think I have shoes older than him."

Dragnet (1967) had plenty of this as well. As did many other cop shows of the late sixties/early seventies.

Many medical dramas often had conflicts between older and younger doctors along generational lines.

In literature, the differences between the Golden Age writers like Robert Heinlein who were still active in the 1960s and the "New Wave" writers such as Harlan Ellison, Michal Bishop, and Michael Moorcock were often seen as part of the generation gap, both stylistically and politically/socially.
