Anything made by Dan Schneider, because he was outed as a huge creep. And even if he hadn’t been outed as a huge creep, the content in most of his shows, especially the foot stuff, is really inappropriate at times in hindsight given those shows were aimed at tweens and teens.
Like, really, Dirty Dan? You think your freaky stuff is appropriate viewing for people who are still in grade school in some cases? No wonder that guy was outed as a creep. And I thought some of his stuff was funny when I was still in his target demo and didn’t even know of the creepy on-set behavior until after I had been aged out of his shows for 20+ years… -sigh- Hindsight sucks.
Also, the guy was really bad about recycling plots from his other properties, eg. iCarly’s plot, being that the older sibling is left to take the place of an absentee parent and care for the younger sibling in their absence, is recycled from What I Like About You, it just replaces the older sister from that property with an older brother, but that’s neither here nor there, I’m just pointing out a lack of originality with that.
Although tbf, Dirty Dan is just a symptom of a far bigger problem in Hollywood. That doesn’t diminish his behavior in any way though, it just points towards deeper systemic rot that he was a result of. His on-set abuse was still awful, but he’s a symptom of Hollywood’s abusive culture, and not the root cause.
The root cause for his behavior is decades of systemic industry-wide unmitigated rot that effectively allows those types of environments, and people like Dirty Dan, to exist in that industry.
Manswers and 1000 Ways to Die are also kinda cringe trash in hindsight as well. Hell, that can be said for basically all of the former Spike TV’s library.
Did he script some things that adults would interpret as inappropriate sexually, but kids wouldn’t even notice? Yes.
Had that writing technique been used in children’s programming for decades? Yes. Even The Flintstones had sexually inappropriate double-entendres meant to make adults giggle but children wouldn’t even notice.
Dan Schneider’s Nickelodeon TV shows had excellent writing, acting, and music.
I’m not defending him but I don’t understand why people continually lambaste him more than Brian Peck & others who actually DID rape kids?? It makes me sick to think about & talk about but it’s all in that documentary An Open Secret.
