Aside from Episode 3, none of the info in this is new


It's basically just a rehash of all the creepy and dickish stuff Dan Schneider has done over the years that has been well know. Just watch Episode 3 with Drake Bell and don't waste your time with the rest.

all of it is new to me. DIdnt know that Dan Schneider and the other guy were just creeps to begin with.

and the subtle sexual stuff with Ariana and the water bottle where she was upside down. Talk about awkward and cant believe that episode actually happened

These things have been known for years, the Ariana one was a meme too.

well its new to me since I just found out about it from the Quiet on the Set doc.

Yes. It was just 3 filler episodes of nonsense.

I was bored by the middle of episode 1. They just kept and kept repeating the same thing: "Fat guy has obsession with feet. Look - we did montage of things that we think look as sexual. Boo Hoo, Guy is creep, ya’ll".

And I thought: "Ok? I guess guy was arrested in the end is now in prison?".

But nope. In the end after many years guy was just fired with no police involved. And those people on video are like: "Yass girl. Huge win for humanity. Guy no longer works there! We did it, kids. We defeated evil".

What's amazing that they spoke with so many of those child actors and NOT ONE said he was molesting them. I think. They just assume it because he looked like creep to them. That guy can easily sue makers of documentary. They have zero proofs but basically publicly called him predator.

It's very new to me. I'd heard about stuff like this from Disney and many other studios in Hollyweird (it truly is a terrible place to be a kid), but I had never heard anything about what was going on at Nickelodeon in the 90s and early 2000s. The truth is, many of the shows they listed came after I stopped watching in 1999 (my family got Disney Channel back by then, and I was also entering teen-hood, so I didn't need Nickelodeon to entertain me anymore by then), so I don't know much about them, nor can I empathize with most of the characters or actors because they are strangers to me. The only people familiar to me in any part of this documentary were Amanda Bynes, Keenan, and Kel. I was actually surprised to find out Ariana Grande was on "All That" at one point, so now her rise to fame makes sense.

It also creeped me out how much sexual innuendo was hidden in plain sight on shows like "All That," because the asshole producer knew that the kids wouldn't know what they were doing. If anyone deserved to be MeToo'd it was Dan Schneider. Obviously he was on a power trip and loved wielding it over people, particularly women because he never could get any girls while growing up (not due to be fat, you understand, though that probably played a part, but probably because he was a shitty human being and hid it better as he got older).

The story involving the guy from Drake and Josh made me sad...until I found out that same guy was privately abusing girls once he got free of that horrible producer guy who had been feeding off him for years. It's not unusual for victims of sexual abuse during the formative years to carry on the abuse themselves later on in life, despite the efforts of others to help them. It made me less sympathetic towards him once I heard about that. I mean, he goes through so much, fights to get free of that monster, only to become a monster himself and act like it "doesn't count" or "isn't the same."
