Has anyone else been watching this? It’s been airing on Discovery ID, and previously on HBO Max.

Yet another reason why, as cute as child actors are, I cannot comprehend why anyone would want their kids to do this, not to mention that the adults weren’t treated well either, specifically by Dan Schneider.

I know now, and he does too, that he’s NOT untouchable. Nobody is.

Now that you mention it, I backtracked a bit, and posted in that thread. I just didn’t remember it.

A 5th episode is currently airing.

Mods, could these be whooshed, or locked as you see fit?
