Has anyone watched this show? It's on ABC on Tuesday's I think but last weeks experiment is still on my mind. They staged a vehicle with a baby (fake but looked very real) in the backseat with all the windows rolled up and no parent and the baby crying to see what passerbyers would do. Most called police right away, thankfully. When the mother (actress) came out she tells them she does this all the time! To the outrage of most. Then later in this episode they staged a dog in the car (real dog) barking with the windows rolled up but they had a hidden air conditioner. It was nice people called for help too. Anyone else been watching? I really like this show. If you live in the U.S. you can download the previously aired episodes on their website: http://abcnews.go.com/whatwouldyoudo

I've seen a couple of them. I saw the last half of the one you stated and one where a guy on a date was putting a substance in his dates drink when she goes to the restroom. I was amazed at how many people didn't want to get involved. I would of been telling the manager to call the police and not dare pour that wine out until it could be tested. Two guys who saw it actually acted as if they wanted to go home whith the guy on the date when they thought she was drugged.

Is this the one where they had a doughnut shop "owner" refusing to serve an Arab girl? If so, it appalled me how many people did NOT get involved, but I was literally brought to tears when a soldier's father just lit into the "owner" and told him his son was fighting so that EVERYONE could enjoy freedom!

I love this show, I like to see how people react to cituations... I know myself, Id be very vocal in every case that I saw... I already am that person that see's something bad and cant get it out of my head, I will hang around waiting to see an outcome or call police depending on what's going on.... sometimes to my fault I will stick my two cents in the middle of things if I think something is wrong...even if it means I will get blasted, I dont care... I never saw the drug being put in the drink segment, but "oh boy" if I did, id drag that gal outa there befor I let her be someones toy... Police and Animal control are the first two numbers on my speed dial... Id be on it!

Chewi, I saw the promos for this show, but haven't caught it yet. Dang. I know I'll love it, I love human interest/psych shows but I also know it will probably upset me. Like you I also tend to stick my neck out for others in need. A couple of months ago near where I work, there was a panhandler unconscious, sprawled awkwardly on the ground, his legs splayed over the milk crate he'd probably been sitting on. It looked like he'd been knocked over. It's one of the busiest streets in the city and tons of people walked by him, most barely even looking at him. I couldn't stand it, and I was concerned, so I called 911. They sent a firetruck which I directed to the fellow, and I stayed a bit longer, til I saw that they were taking care of him.

I too saw the ones with the girl getting a drug dropped in her drink. Did anyone see the one where the blind woman and there was a blind man who were getting ripped off by the guy working at the bakery? I was happy people stepped in to tell her he was stealing her money but apalled when they didn't do the same as much for the blind man. There was something about the baby (maybe because I have one!) that just made me all teary. I was so happy when the one woman told her she should never be allowed to have children. Actually, they all made me teary, I'm such a sap and I would definitely would say something in all those circumstances. How about the nanny being reamed out by her employer at the coffee shop? Mame--You might find some episodes on youtube.

My DVR said it was Dateline on tonight. As far as my DVR is concerned, the next ep of What Would You Do is next week. But then, my DVR has been known to be wrong before!

I don't think it was shown on the East Coast, we got the episode of "True Beauty" last night. My husband and I enjoy watching this show. We couldn't believe how the people in the grocery store when they gave away the money. We were cracking up.
