The World's Strictest Parents (or World's Strictest Parents) is an international television franchise reality series developed by TwentyTwenty Television with its original broadcast in Britain by the BBC. The success of the program led to many oversea's versions being created including in the Americas (broadcast by CMT) (part of MTV Networks) the CMT episodes frequently rebroadcasting on MTV. There are also many other international foreign versions (listed below) including an Australian version, a New Zealand version and a German (German language)-version titled "Die strengsten Eltern der Welt" (The strictest Parents of the World). As well other countries to have locally produced adaptations including Scandinavia, Turkey and Poland.

Unruly British teenagers are sent to live with strict families in an experiment to try to change their behaviour. Generally they spend 10 days, later 7 days with their adopted parents trying to live within their rules.

Series two premiered on BBC Three on 15 October 2009 and ran to 17 December.

This episode was aired as an Australian episode and narrated by Axle Whitehead.

Series three premiered on BBC Three on 11 October 2010, the show returned for an 11-episode run. Whilst not formally announced, it appears the teens now spend a week with their adopted families rather than the 10 days in the two previous series. Each episode aired at 9:00pm on BBC Three and was repeated at various times over the following week. It was also moved to a Monday.

Series 4 premiered on 3 November 2011 and featured 12 teenagers. The series ran until 15 December.

Unlike the original British series, in which teenagers were sent to live abroad, the US series had the teenagers remain within The United States, as the program was produced with a reduced cable network budget rather than that of a national broadcast network, and law and passport concerns as some episodes would likely feature subjects which would not meet passport regulations. Another difference was that their own parents came for them and evaluated the stay with the host family.
