Schneider's Bakery
Encyclopedia
Schneider's Bakery Productions, Inc. is a television production company founded by Dan Schneider
.
Series produced under the Schneider's Bakery banner are noted for using the same stable of writers on all series, something that is atypical for scripted television series and especially sitcoms that are created by the same writer; staff writers working for most of Schneider's series include Andrew Hill Newman
, George Doty IV and Jake Farrow
among others. Directors Steve Hoefer
and Russ Reinsel also work for the company directing many episodes under the company banner. Musicians Backhouse Mike
and C.J. Abraham are largely responsible for the music on the shows. Background music selected by the crew of Schneider's Bakery includes such musicians as The Orion Experience
, Jennifer McNutt, and AM
, whose popularity exploded when the song "Running Away" was played during the iCarly
episode "iKiss," although it was virtually overlooked when played during the Zoey 101
episode "Robot Wars".
