re: Quiet On Set: Nickelodeon Documentary

Part 5 comes out tonight. The preview makes it out to be in an interview format.

It’s pretty ridiculous, and doesn’t do much to advance the story. Black actress crying racism because she’s getting spit on by the star (as part of the sketch), and producer says ‘Get over it- she’s the star’

Thanks for being the guinea pig. I think I’ll skip out on part 5.

Part 5 is to point out the obvious racism. There should be more black people in the shows than whites- otherwise racism.

These two black actors are angry because their careers never went anywhere. The girl's main complaint was they told her she was so funny it was hard to find a way to showcase her- sounds like a nice way of telling a child that she was more of a secondary player. Her main complaint with Dan Schneider is that she was intimidated by him because he could make people's careers. He didn't specifically do anything to her but she was inimidated.

Dan might have been terrible but these accusations are pretty tame.

I kept waiting on some huge bombshell revelation about Schneider, which never came. Since they seemed to center the whole series around him.

This could have easily been a 3 episode show. They draw things out way too much IMO.

A lot of the interviewees in the series had absolutely nothing to say, but they framed it like they were revealing huge secrets.

Just a bunch of actors.lioiing for someone else to blame. Throw in the typical leftist reporter to find sexual innuendo in any spot they could. Basically, they rode the coat tails of 3 pedos and an I dusty that isn't great for kids

The two dweebs from Boy Meets World trying to rewrite history on their podcast by spinning the story of their support for Brian Peck now that they were called out on something they never thought would go public is the most Hollywood thing I'll see all week.

Link, or just more details in general? What did they do or how did they try to spin it?

It was in E5. I didn't see the whole thing - just what was excerpted in that follow-up episode.

It was the typical, revisionist, "looking back on it, we don't know what we were thinking, sitting there in the courtroom in Brian Peck's defense. Through the lens of today, we understand that it was a bad look, etc." It was the pedo defender/enabler version of the same drivel that Schneider is trying to pump out as he spins putting preteens in clearly sexual situations that were said to be "kids jokes", yet none of the kids on set got the "joke" nor thought it was funny.

Schneider is trying to hide behind a chain of command within Nick/Viacom, saying in various places that "there's a whole host of people on both coasts who signed off on these jokes/situations, etc." instead of owning up to being a creep. Either you're DAN SCHNEIDER - RULER OF KIDS' TELEVISION, or you're just middle management doing what others have told you to do. It can't be both.

All I’m going to say is this: If Schneider is merely just a fricking a-hole as this documentary shows, he would still be working at Nickelodeon. Schneider is far from the first huge a-hole and sexist that was hired in Hollywood. All they would do is hire another producer to keep Schneider’s worst impulses in check.

The guy was a fricking piggy bank for Viacom and Paramount and probably one of the most successful producers in the history of Hollywood. Schneider knew what kids wanted before they even knew what they wanted. As much of a monster as he is, he was a brilliant producer (as was Harvey). They’re not going to let him go lightly because you quite frankly can’t replace him. And Nickelodeon has gone completely down the toilet quality and ratings wise without him.

Jeanette McCurdy has already come out and basically said he did it, Amanda Bynes being a complete dumpster fire of a human speaks for itself, and pedophiles surround themselves with other pedophiles for protection. Yes Schneider is a HETEROSEXUAL pedophile (never heard of a single allegation of him doing stuff to boys), and that’s why he probably showed up to Drake’s side to knock off any suspicions that he may be fricking around with the girl talent and there was no coming back for Brian Peck after what he did (not to mention he was pen pals with John Wayne Gacy, which is about as big of a red flag as I can think of).

They just don’t have enough on Schneider not to get sued into an oblivion over the rumors and speculations like they have with some of the other pedophiles at Nickelodeon. There’s still so much fricking smoke around this man that this is not the main fire that this documentary has uncovered.

Late to the thread... Watched last week.

Dan's a weirdo creep, but are there any credible allegations of rape against him? Seems like someone would have come out by now. And interesting for Drake to say he was the only one that reached out to him after the trial to ask if he was ok.

Seems like the support staff were the pedos and the ones everyone should be focusing in on.

Couldn't get past first 10m of last episode. Felt like families coming out of the weeds for a money grab and some screen time.
