“Quiet on the Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” has made a lot of headlines. Shining a new light on some of the most popular children’s shows of the 1990s and early 2000s, the four-part documentary series explores allegations of abuse and toxic behavior behind the scenes on shows like “Drake & Josh,” “The Amanda Show” and “iCarly,” created for the Nickelodeon network by Dan Schneider.
Schneider has come under fire for his behavior and the environment on the sets of his shows. This documentary includes Drake Bell of “Drake & Josh” publicly telling his story of being abused by a dialogue coach who worked for Nickelodeon for the first time.
