My Take
I find Dan Schneider one of the most complicated figures in children's television. For a quarter century he had an uncanny instinct for what made kids laugh, building Nickelodeon's comedy empire show after show, and that instinct is genuinely rare. But since 2018 the allegations and scrutiny surrounding his conduct have forced a reckoning, and rightly so; children's entertainment demands a higher standard of trust than almost any other corner of the industry. My honest position is that the work shaped a generation's sense of humor, while the questions about how it was made deserve to be taken just as seriously. Both belong on the record.
