The D-Generation was a popular & influential Australian TV sketch comedy show, produced & broadcast by the ABC for two series, between 1986 & 1987. A further four specials were broadcast on the Seven Network between 1988 & 1989.

The series was created & written by a group of Melbourne University students who had gained local notoriety for their stage work: Rob Sitch, Santo Cilauro, Marg Downey, Michael Veitch, Magda Szubanski, John Harrison & Tom Gleisner. Also part of the original team was Nick Bufalo, who appeared in the unscreened one-hour D-Generation pilot (1985). Several of Bufalo's sketches from the pilot (including the famous Thunderbirds parody) were incorporated into series one & Bufalo himself returned for the specials. Actress/comedian Jane Turner & New Zealander Tony Martin joined from series two & Melbourne Uni Revue stars Mick Molloy & Jason Stephens were added for the specials.
