I just finished the second episode tonight.
I thought it was really compelling to have multiple child stars all recounting their experiences like “yeahhh that was fucking weird.”

One (off topic) good thing about episode one is that I watched it last night and couldn’t stop thinking about Christy Stratton’s great haircut - a bob with bangs.
So I got a bob with bangs haircut today.

So I got a bob with bangs haircut today. I got a chin-length bob the week before the Oscars, but different than the past bob's I've had where I've had it more rounded and stacked, this time I went for more blunt ends. My family all had the polite 'oh, you got a haircut! It looks...nice!' reaction. Then I watched the Oscars and felt validated after seeing and loving all the short, blunt hair. I love mine and hope you love yours too! I watched episodes 1 and 2. I was prime age for All That when it was on, but I remember it being the one show in Nickelodeon that everyone was watching that I just did not like. I feel like I didn't get the humor and hated watching because it was embarrassing for me to watch kids do things I thought was embarrassing (I'm still like this, my dh loves the show Impractical Jokers and I can't stand to watch it), but I remember seeing the stars all over the media and whatnot. I just feel so bad for everyone involved and how powerless they all felt.

Add me to the newly cut Bob club. I usually keep my hair short, so I was so excited to see so many short do's at the oscars.

I too was never of fan of all that. I think I aged out as the Amanda show was coming on. So I missed drake and Josh and iCarly and all that stuff. Those Ariana Grande clips made me very uncomfortable.

I can’t get over the fact that Brian Peck was pen pals with John Wayne Gacy and had a signed painting from him in his home that he gleefully showed off.

I clicked on an article about where Brian Peck was after prison. And you guys.
After serving his sentence, Peck was released from prison in 2005. A year later, he was hired by Disney Channel to work on The Suite Life of Zack & Cody.

He was fired after 3 episodes when Disney learned about the conviction (which like, um how did you miss that initially...) and apparently since it was all voice over work, he never had contact with the cast or crew. So gross.

I was heartbroken for Drake Bells (and Drake himself) dad. He tried so hard to protect his son from someone he knew was a predator. I got choaked up when he was talking about it.

The clip of Leo and Brian made me feel very uncomfortable. Drake's dad broke my heart He knew what was going on and Brian just waited and waited for his chance. Hollywood is such a disgusting place. But people keep sending ther kids...

I wonder if his (Drake's) abuse was what caused his own sexual abuse of minor girls later in his life.

Also I saw a meme last night that was like "Millennials watching the Quiet on Set documentary" and it was a guy just in horror and shock in various ways and ... yeah. All of the clips of shit that went waaaay over my head back then as a kid. Like wtf were we watching?
It puts it in a new light but I do have nostalgia for a lot of the shows anyway.
I was too old for the 2000s era Nickelodeon so the shows mentioned in the last episode are mostly unknown to me.

I saw that. 🫤 I know they said it is unknown what the people were told or what they knew about the charges and details and whether they were at his sentencing, etc...so I want to believe that James didn't know the details but who knows.

He said he took responsibility and said the media got ahold of "misinformation" so...it doesn't sound like he fully agrees with the allegations. Though he mentions going through rehab and trauma therapy and I hope that it helped him, and he won't do anything else again...

So is Drake Bell the person enty is referring to in the blinds when he refers to the wheelchair actor? TIL there was a famous Drake other than So I thought the singer Drake was the one accused of inappropriate acts with young girls. Is he someone who hasn't actually been ruined yet?

roselab Drake Bell is a white American actor. Drake in that photo (black Canadian man) is the one that enty refers to as the wheelchair actor because his character in Degrassi was in a wheelchair. I think both have different allegations against them.

willow, thanks for clearing that up for me. I had aged out of Nickelodeon before Drake and Josh, and also never watched Degrassi, but at least I know who both of these are now.

The Drake in that photo is the Drake who was like weird bff's with Millie Bobbie Brown, which seemed really off and inappropriate because she was underage

I haven't watched this series but I'm about to. It sounds like I might be too old. I grew up watching Dan Schneider on Head of the Class. I was more the You Can't Do that on Television and Double Dare era
