Primetime: What Would You Do?

[darksonic45]

P:WWYD is an American television newsmagazine broadcast on ABC since February 26, 2008 as part of the Primetime series. The show is about setting up everyday scenarios and then capturing people's reactions. Whether they're compelled to act or mind their own business, John Quiñones reports on their split-second and often surprising decision-making process. Often people speculate on how they might act in a difficult situation, but this series looks at how they actually do in the face of everyday dilemmas that test their character and values.

This show is extremely interesting (although I hate the time slot they've given to it) and always seems to surprise me since people act differently with variables that seem simple. Some of their scenarios that they've shown include: A man drugging his date with a drug, A man treating immigrant customers badly trying to get lunch, and a pair of wedding crashers. The people who do the scenario are actors but the show aims to see how people react.

 

My personal favorite scenario would have to be how the people defended the blind people when a cashier tried to scam them.

 

You can post if you like/hate the show and your favorite scenario.

I've never seen it or even heard about it but from what you're telling me, it definitely looks like something I'd be interested in. It sounds like Punk'd or Scare Tactics except it actually has a point to it.

I'd love to be on it. Not knowing, of course. Then again, being one of the actors would be awesome as well.

 

 

 

But people only target extremes. Never medium sized cities. :c

 

 

 

Plus, they don't show everybody that goes by.
