"Quiet on Set" Nickelodeon docuseries

(1/1)

The world will shine with light in our nightmare:
Has anybody else seen this? I watched the first four episodes last night. A fifth one is slated to come out next month. Those of you who were also of age around the time of Nickelodeon's golden years, particularly the early-mid 2000s, will find their childhoods tainted. But the truth matters, disturbing as it can often be.

I grew up watching most of the shows that were talked about (All That, The Amanda Show, Drake & Josh, iCarly, etc.). It's obviously been years since I watched any of those shows, but seeing clips of them with adult eyes really makes it difficult to see them as anything other than sexualization children. Dan Schneider's obsession with underage girls' feet already came to light several years ago, but the story gets worse the further down the rabbit hole you go - such as the fact that a convicted pedophile somehow managed to find work at Disney less than two years after his arrest for sexually assaulting Drake Bell.

DaleCooper:
It made me feel bad for how callous I've been in the past when talking about the disastrous lives of former child stars like Drake Bell and Amanda Bynes. You never know what someone's been through.

TheElectoralBoobyPrize:
I've been watching, but only the first episode featured an era of Nickelodeon that I actually watched (that is, the 90s). I'm old.
