The prudish approach allegedly came from the tip-top of the organization—specifically, then-Nickelodeon President Herb Scannell. "He would make these sweeping pronouncements about the way the world worked, and the way that kids thought, and what he wanted the world to look like," says Wright.

"They're not very artist-friendly," Bakay, who went on to co-write the two  Paul Blart films, says of Nickelodeon's chilly creative approach—a reflection of their financial cheapness towards creative types as well. "I remember walking into [co-creator Mitch Schauer's] office and seeing Norbert and Daggett stuffed animals. I said to him, 'Wow, those are really cool, where did you get those?' And he replied, with no irony, 'Toys-R-Us.' He had to go buy his own toys, and he created the whole fucking thing."
