TV Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV

[radioguy6]

2 part documentary exposing the dark side of Nickelodeon, part 1 starts tonight at 8pm on ID.

#QuietOnSet pulls back the curtain on an empire, built by creator Dan Schneider, that had an undeniable grip on popular culture. Series such as All That and The Amanda Show, among others, were obsessively consumed by children across the country and defined comedy for a generation. But behind the upbeat onscreen presence on these shows with questionable jokes and over-the-top sketches, QUIET ON SET reveals an insidious environment rife with allegations of abuse, sexism, racism, and inappropriate dynamics with its underage stars and crew. QUIET ON SET: THE DARK SIDE OF KIDS TV will premiere across two nights on ID from 9PM-11PM ET/PT on Sunday, March 17 and Monday, March 18.

Definitely cringe!

 

[radioguy6]

finished both parts. was shocked to hear Drake Bells story and how his dad warned about Brian Peck. Glad he got some prison time, had to register as sex offender, but then right away got a job at Disney?? How in the fuck? Tells you everything about that industry. Even before this, it was always obvious Dan Schneider is responsible for what happened to Amanda Bynes. Yet Nickelodeon bought him out and so many former child stars signed NDAs.

 

[DEEZUZ]

I felt so terrible for his dad.. Dude was legit as fuck

yes 4 episodes. alot of this stuff flew over our heads as kids, but as an adult its sick. It gets better. you will realize all the scenes involving feet, and even the Nickelodeon foot logo all stem from Dan Schneider's foot fetish.

Just saw there may be a 5th episode dropping on April 7th.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Yep.

Nothing happens to any of these people. Like ever.


So here's my thing with the drake thing.

He kept saying how if he said anything that he'd be black listed and so fourth....


Sooooo you wanted the fame and fortune and took the abuse with it....?

i'm turning 45 in a few days, i did not grow up watching these

i feel like even as a kid you'd find some of these pretty surprising

like not sure what age you'd need to be to pick up on the simulated jizz shots or the dude wearing dicks, the ariana grande potato water thing is just wtf and surely parents were watching this and i can't fathom any of them not being like wtf when she's glugging water down upside down on the bed

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I’ve never watched any of these shows, is this documentary still worth watching?

 

[DEEZUZ]

Same. These shows were way passed my age group too. You dont need to know the shows.. Just the scumbags behind them

 

[DEEZUZ]

I was around for All That, Are you Afraid of The Dark, Rocco, Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple. Mid 90s.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Never had cable as a kid, never watched Nickelodeon or anything, I mean I know who a lot of these celebs are I guess

 

[sickmint79]

I’ve never watched any of these shows, is this documentary still worth watching?

I watched in the 90s, All That, Kenan and Kel, Double dare, parts of the Amanda show, more so that era. I grew too old for Drake and Josh and Ariana show when they gave Dan full reign.

I think the parents knew what was going on, but probably pressured to step aside like Josh's dad, and/or just willfully ignorant to giving up the fame and fortune. These predators preyed on that, while Nickelodeon turned their heads.

I hope someday we hear Amanda Bynes' story. She's obviously dealing with trauma that only she can explain, but on her terms.

[radioguy6]

I want to believe that, but it feels like a reach. I would not doubt these Nickelodeon execs were visitors though.

 

[331stang]

No doubt , but gotta say its def odd

 

[sktchy]

Like Disney didnt do it for years.
