The five-part docuseries details behavior by producer Dan Schneider and others on and off set, ranging from inappropriate behavior, sexual abuse, bullying, sexism and racism.
Drake Bell, left, and Josh Peck joke around on the set of the new children's television show"Drake & Josh," at the Nickelodeon Studios in Los Angeles. Bell's story of sexual abuse during his Nickelodeon tenure is a focal point in the new docuseries"Quiet on Set."
Peck was one of three predators discovered to be working on Nickelodeon lots. He served 16 months for his conviction in Bell’s case, then got hired by Disney Channel. “In addition, Bryan Hearne, another Black male actor who was the only Black male actor during his tenure in ‘All That’’s later seasons, details a sort of racially discomforting environment. For instance, he recounts being cast as a Girl Scout cookie dealer in a sketch, which mimicked a drug dealing scenario.”“There's a tendency that the documentary posits within Schneider's content for years across all of his shows to over-sexualize young girls and young female characters.
“I do think that a lot of this docuseries seeks to not only call out Schneider but to call out a sort of alleged negligence of Nickelodeon as a place that employed children, but did not necessarily treat those environments as places that employ children, did not put in the proper protections for these kids did not maybe allegedly do the background checks they should have done.
