Telly’s Take
When ABC let its Primetime news magazine series fall by the wayside, What Would You Do? dropped the “Primetime” banner and did pretty well as a separate series. In the last couple of seasons though, its ratings have dropped off fairly sharply. While for the fans sake, I hope it is renewed for another season, a television vulture has to eat, so I’ll keep a hungry eye out and update this page with any developments. I suspect it will see a 14th season. Subscribe for free updates on any What Would You Do? cancellation and renewal news.

“What Would You Do” was an awesome show. I hope ABC or a cable channel starts showing it again.
I love this show! Please come to my City and do a few episodes!! I met Mr Quiones! He’s brilliant!!
Really hope they continue it. A great show to watch with the family. Generates lots of discussion. Also makes you feel good because there are wonderful people in the world who still stand up for justice.
Good show nice run but to played out
Love John & the show, hope it is renewed for more seasons after this.
OMG! I certainly do hope that this show definitely comes back! It’s not only entertaining, it’s VERY thought provoking and one of the VERY RARE intelligent programs on network TV! TOO MANY”intelligent” programs have disappeared from the networks, across the board, leaving most of us (who enjoy shows that actually tried to make their audience THINK) to seek such shows on cable or, better yet, on ONE or other public broadcasting stations!
I never did like this show. Watched a couple times. That was all I could stand.
