      That looks super intense. After I read " I’m glad my mom died" I just don’t feel comfortable with so much of the Disney and Nickelodeon era. This will be interesting to watch in that context.

          If you’re confused about the “I’m Glad My Mom Died” thing it’s Jenette McCurdy’s book that goes over how her mother’s narcissism ruined her life amongst other things. I strongly recommend it.

          It was Jeanette McCurdy’s (Sam on iCarly) biography about growing up with an NMom. She had to refer to Schneider as ‘The Creator’ for legal reasons, but everyone who’s looked into Schneider’s past for even 15 minutes knows exactly who it is.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A trailer for Investigation Discovery’s docuseries Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV has revealed new allegations against prolific Nickelodeon showrunner Dan Schneider.

    The four-part series investigates the career of Schneider, who created Nickelodeon hit programs like The Amanda Show, What I Like About You, Drake & Josh, Zoey 101, iCarly, Victorious and Sam & Cat, and who helped launch the careers of Kenan Thompson, Amanda Bynes, Victoria Justice, Miranda Cosgrove, Jennette McCurdy and others.

    But Quiet on Set, directed by Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz, also alleges that behind the scenes, underage stars and crew were treated inappropriately.

    The decision to not extend Schneider’s deal at the studio also followed an investigation by then-parent ViacomCBS that claimed abusive behavior by the prolific TV creator toward people he worked with on set.

    “Following many conversations together about next directions and future opportunities, Nickelodeon and our longtime creative partner Dan Schneider/Schneider’s Bakery have agreed to not extend the current deal,” the Viacom-owned cable network said in a statement at the time.

    But the end of Schneider’s working relationship with Nickelodeon has not stopped former employees from coming forward with darker allegations in the ID docuseries.
