TV Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV

Missed this thread. Like many of the these "docuseries" deals I've seen, I was very annoyed by it. It's too damn long, and I'm also not entirely sure which bottom line they intended to achieve. Most of the time they're shitting all over Dan Schneider. Yeah, he's probably a bit of a creepy asshole but not a criminal, undeserving of his merits, or even worthy of 3 episodes in a docuseries (assuming that everything we know is all that happened). The Drake Bell interview is the only part worth hearing about IMO and has nothing to do with the Dan Schneider "issue" that everyone is bitching about at the start. I think it would have been a much better series if the entire focus was on Drake's story. By the end, you've totally forgotten about Dan Schneider especially since Drake Bell is actually defending him a bit.

I personally recommend skipping to the last couple episodes.

I think a few of these cats are definitely in this for the money. When they talk they don't make much sense. Like the racist stuff.. Yea I don't know about that stuff man

My wife also pointed out that one of the no-name All That characters who sat down and gave her "poor me" speech because she didn't make it as an actress is wearing a $7k sweater.

This really could have been reduced to one 60 min episode of the diddling pickle dude.
