A creator has pointed out the glaring difference between children’s programming on Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, which has gone completely unnoticed until now.
In a viral clip, Reeves Connelly highlighted that the set design of Nickelodeon shows would be stylized in a very “childish” way, as parents were more often than not the main characters.
Meanwhile, Reeves noted that the Disney Channel sets would be “more normal and realistic” because parents were often in the main cast.
On social media, Reeves explained to his 1 million Instagram followers: “On most Nick shows, the parents weren’t the main characters, so the sets were designed to look like a child’s dream house, so the furniture was very over over the years. great and childish.
‘But the Disney sets had to give off the vibe of a parent living there, because they were usually main characters, so the furniture was much more ordinary and realistic.

In comparison, Reeves Connelly emphasized that the set design of Nickelodeon programs would be designed in a very ‘childish’ way.
“And if you notice, the Nick shows with main characters like Drake and Josh had very realistic sets and the Disney shows that didn’t have very fake-looking sets.”
Reeves also noted that Nickelodeon shows generally have sparsely decorated sets, as they had to “constantly rearrange the furniture to shoot these random performance scenes.”
Disney, on the other hand, rarely did the same with its children’s shows, which meant they could “supplement them with more furniture and props to increase the realism factor.”
It’s fair to say that many social media users were stunned by Reeves’ revelation.
One wrote: ‘So true, Disney looked much more realistic when it came to the houses and suburban life.’
“Drake and Josh’s room wasn’t realistic,” said another.
A third continued: “This is the kind of analysis I live for.”
A fourth commented: ‘I always felt strange on the sets but never had the words to explain why, thank you.’

“Nickelodeon was built on the niche of the kids experience because there wasn’t really room for kids on TV, which made the sets look childish,” a fifth wrote.
Nickelodeon launched in 1979 and was the first cable channel for children.
Popular shows on the network include Drake & Josh, iCarly and Keenan and Kel, all of which were created by disgraced producer Dan Schneider.
Earlier this year, the damning documentary Quiet On Set: The Dark Side Of Kids TV exposed the ‘toxic environment’ at Nickelodeon.
Schneider, who was described as “Nickelodeon’s golden boy,” is said to have “launched the careers of child actors who became major stars,” including Miranda Cosgrove, Jamie Lynn Spears and Ariana Grande.
But he has since been inundated with accusations before being indicted on charges of gender discrimination, hostile work environment and harassment – many of which were revealed in the documentary.
The Disney Channel, meanwhile, launched in 1983.
It is home to shows such as Wizards of Waverly Place, Good Luck Charlie and The Suite Life on Deck.
