I watched this show for the first time tonight on ABC at 10:00 PM. They set up hidden cameras and a scenario where someone is in distress and see who will help.
There was a teenage girl being forced to marry an old man and it was filmed in a restaurant. This camera ran for two days and only 4 women helped her. I was proud of them but shocked that more people didn't do something.
There were a few other scenarios and in all of them, very few people help. In one segment, a fake infomercial, people were testifying about a product they had never used, that it grew hair, 100% guarantee or money back and they knew it wasn't true. I would have been afraid to help the man being beaten, too dangerous, but I think I would have called police immediately.
You can learn more about the show here: http://abcnews.go.com/WhatWouldYouDo/ The website has videos of the show. I think this show is relatively new and I think it will be a hit. I also liked that I could interact with John Quinnones, the host, at Twitter. Cool!
