Investigation Discovery’s four-part documentary series “Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” took a look behind-the-scenes of Nickelodeon’s most prolific and controversial writer and producer Dan Schneider. The docuseries chronicles how, during his years-long reign of alleged toxic workplace behavior, Schneider birthed what is known today as the network’s most successful eras, as well as the most horrific times for child actors and production crew members.
With a knack for knowing what makes kids laugh and an insatiable desire to produce kids TV, becoming “Nickelodeon’s golden boy,” as Business Insider Kate Taylor put it, came easy for Schneider.
