Schneider's Bakery, Inc. is an American television production company founded on June 6, 1996 [1] by Dan Schneider. The company's name originates from Schneider's father's business located in Memphis, Tennessee.

Contents

Television shows 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.

History

Founded on June 6, 1996, in Tennessee. [1] It was approved to operate in California on August 27, 1999. [2] On January 16, 2001, Schneider's Bakery was considered delinquent by the Secretary of State of California for failing to file their Statements of Information, and by November 3, 2003, the company was considered forfeited by the State. In order to operate again, California's Secretary of State's Revivor Unit had to be contacted, and Schneider's Bakery was approved to be revived on February 17, 2004. [3]

In the summer of 2004, [4] when production started on Zoey 101 and filming began at Pepperdine University, the Lovernich apartments on campus were used as makeshift offices for Schneider's Bakery. [5]
