  • Follow the Leader:
    • This show's success popularized a subgenre of reality TV involving modern teenagers being forced to endure discipline and lifestyles from the 1950s and 60s, such as Never Did Me Any Harm. It was also airing around the same time as Bad Lads' Army, which was about delinquent young men enduring 1950s military training.
    • Without the 1950s and 60s style discipline, the show is also caught in the zeitgeist of 'bratty teenagers being punished' reality television - along with Brat Camp, World's Strictest Parents etc.
