Programing on ABC doesn't turn my crank in general ... but I LOVE LOVE LOVE "Primetime: What Would You DO?" ... and I LOVE LOVE LOVE John Quiñones!

Now, I'll have you know that I think it's a crying shame that a show had to be created to teach people how to behave like conscientious human beings; but I do beyond a shadow of a doubt look forward to the show every week! :)
I would've loved to include some videos here within the blog for you folks to enjoy ... but I see that ABC News is being a pain in the kiester about that ... so I'll just have to pop the link at the bottom and maybe you will take the time to check them out.

The clip below is clip 1 of a splendiforous 2 part interview with John Quiñones and Jimmy Kimmel. In Part 1, Quiñones discusses his recent interview with Chilean miner, "Super Mario" and the competition to get the interview.... Good stuff!

Great "Part 2" clip below in which John Quiñones refers to himself as a Mexican Alan Funt. It does show a clip of "What Would You Do?" and give the lowdown on the show.
::Wiki "Facts"::
*Primetime: What Would You Do? is an American television newsmagazine broadcast on ABC since 2009 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.
*John Quiñones was born in San Antonio, Texas, in 1952. He grew up in a Spanish-speaking household and didn't learn English until he started school at age 6. Determined on overcoming Hispanic stereotypes, he decided to attend college. After graduating from Brackenridge High School, Quiñones joined an upward bound program out of St. Mary's University, preparing him for college. After graduating from St. Mary's with a bachelor's degree in Speech Communication, Quiñones earned his master's degree from Columbia University's School of Journalism
