Numerous headlines have been generated by “Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV”.
The four-part documentary series sheds new light on some of the most well-liked children’s shows of the 1990s and early 2000s by investigating claims of abuse and toxic behavior behind the scenes on shows like “Drake & Josh,” “The Amanda Show,” and “iCarly,” which were created by Dan Schneider for the Nickelodeon network.
Schneider has drawn criticism for his actions and the atmosphere on the sets of his television programs. In this documentary, Drake Bell (of “Drake & Josh”) tells his story about being mistreated for the first time by a dialogue coach who worked for Nickelodeon.
