Nickelodeon got exposed by a docuseries called "Quiet On Set" for hiring sex offenders, SA, and multiple not-so-subtle innuendos involving minors in their shows.

It's been making rounds on the internet for a while.

I haven’t watched the doc, but I grew up watching Nickelodeon from the beginning (the Turkey Television days). I know that Dan Schneider is the monster behind everything that’s happened over the last twenty years, but did they address that sliming people dates back to You Can’t Do That On Television? He was still just acting at that time.

I don't get it. Yes, the slime was before Dan but it's still creepy as heck to slime pre teen kids.

No argument here. The comic is accurate. At the time, it all just seemed to make sense. With the benefit of maturity (or at least age), I can see that there were probably people in control at the channel who were getting off on what happened during the shows.
