“Quiet on Set” takes viewers all the way back to the early 1990s, when embattled producer and screenwriter Dan Schneider was first hired at Nickelodeon.

It’s been a turbulent few years for Nickelodeon, as more and more stories have surfaced about Dan Schneider—the creator of many of shows including All That, The Amanda Show, iCarly, Victorious, and Sam & Cat—and his inappropriate behavior on set. Now, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, a four-episode documentary series directed by Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz, has delved more deeply into the dysfunction behind the scenes.

What, exactly, has Schneider been accused of? Schneider has faced criticism for years for including sexually suggestive jokes and gags in his shows , but Quiet on Set also alleges that he insisted women weren’t funny, played pornography on a television in the writers’ room, forced two female writers to split a single staff writer’s salary, and would frequently request massages from staffers on set.
