This week, we invited our good friend Cassandra of Cassandra Explains it All to talk about Nickelodeon's dark and disturbing history. We discuss child actors like Jeanette McCurdy and Amanda Bynes who have spoken out, banned episodes from Rocko's Modern Life and Ren and Stimpy so bad they couldn't make it to air, the child predators like John K. and Dan Schneider Nickelodeon employed, and the mishaps and injuries associated with its beloved game shows like Legends of the Hidden Temple and Double Dare!
