ABC's "What would you do?"

[doodah]

While I doubt this show is as "real life" as they claim (meaning I think some of the people walking the streets in the scenes are really actors), I enjoy this show. Anybody else watch it?

 

[MTM]

I used to, now it sits in the DVR.

Too many of the situations seem contrived and they often get too preachy about situations where most people would not get involved.

Would you scold a Mom for calling her daughter fat in a department store? I wouldn't and I don't want to feel like I'm doing something wrong for not intervening.

There is only one "What Would You Do?" in my mind and it stars a surprisingly young and OCD-afflicted Marc Summers.

How the hell has Nickelodeon not remade Double Dare or this show or Finders Keepers or Guts ... or any of those early 1990s shows? Seems like a slam dunk nostalgia cash-in.

What do they show on Nickelodeon now? I probably haven't watched it in 15 years.

I absolutely hate What Would You Do?

If the situation was bad enough for me to step in, and I found that clown step out from behind a curtain ... ****, I'd snap worse than I did on the actor.

iCarly, Spongebob, and Victorious take up most of the schedule.

What do you mean? If Nickelodeon has a show with that name, how is ABC also allowed to have one?

I would ban you, skip.

I don't know if ABC or another company produces the show, but they likely owned or bought the rights.
