Dan Schneider is the producer who “discovered” Amanda Bynes, Miranda Cosgrove, Victoria Justice, and Ariana Grande, as well as some fast food employee who loves orange soda (http://uproxx.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/giphy.gif). I’m not sure of his name. Point is, he’s been Nick’s savior for years, because his shows are popular amongst kids and their parents. But why would a grown-ass man subject himself to Drake and/or Josh? Because there’s a weird sexual undercurrent to much of Schneider’s work. That’s especially true of Victorious and Sam & Cat, the series that turned Ariana Grande from a little-known Broadway actress into a household name.

A household name who’s now embroiled in a behind-the-scenes scandal (http://uproxx.com/tv/2014/07/ariana-grandes-very-inappropriate-kids-show-has-been-cancelled-due-to-behind-the-scenes-drama/). (At least she’s made it through the Nick Factory with more grace than co-star Jennette McCurdy has (http://uproxx.com/up/2014/04/heres-everything-know-jennette-mccurdy-scandal-nickelodeons-sam-cat/).) A not-insignificant part of Ariana’s fame, at least online, comes from some weirdly inappropriate scenes that Schneider & Co. slipped into her shows. It’s a far cry from the days of Lori Beth Denberg and her Vital Information.

Oh, so she’s an Alison Brie for the tween crowd? Now I get it (?)!
