“I often look back at that time and wonder how in the world I survived.”

So Drake Bell said in Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, the Investigation Discovery series that dug into the bittersweet experiences of a number of former child actors who got their big break as part of Nickelodeon’s pop culture-dominating lineup of kid-friendly programming in the 1990s and 2000s.

Though whether shows like All That, The Amanda Show, iCarly, Zoey 101 and more were even all that kid-friendly is one of the questions explored in the now five-part series, the latest installment featuring journalist Soledad O’Brien interviewing Bell and others about the viral response to their stories.

Bell’s revelation—that he was the 15-year-old victim who was never publicly identified when child sex abuse charges were filed against dialogue coach Brian Peck in 2003—had already made headlines by the time the show premiered last month, it marking the first time the now 37-year-old Drake & Josh alum had spoken out (beyond therapy, he said) about what happened to him.
