The fukked part is that Drake Bell ended up being a predator himself. Hate to hear what he and the rest of those child actors had to go through though. The part with Hearne damn near broke me, it’s tough watching these kids get their innocence shattered in such manner.
These shows were a mainstay during my childhood. I remember Dan always striking me as a weirdo in those blooper reels that ran during the credits, so not a surprise at all to hear all this come out about the guy. I’m sure there were way more than just two pedophiles who were under his staff. When you’re running the show in the manner Dan did, can you really be surprised? But it’s wild that it took a whole #MeToo movement for Nickelodeon to finally get the guy out of the paint, and even then that was fueled by what was considered politically correct at the time. Hollyweird says as long as you’re making me money, then we’re cool.
