What Would You Do?

Show Summary

Welcome to the What Would You Do? guide at tv.com. When Nickelodeon Studios opened its doors to the public June 7, 1990, the network was open to any new program concept. Ideas were tossed up to Nickelodeon president Geraldine Laybourne and tried, beginning with Outta Here!, a daily half-hour show that began in July 1990. Outta Here! was purged to make way for the show documented here. What Would You Do? was a Nickelodeon buried treasure from the early '90s. It was much like Slime Time Live would become, only it wasn't live, and was, frankly, a lot more interesting. One of the many game shows during this period, it was hosted by Mark Summers, of the pioneering kid's game show Double Dare fame. The reason the show is remembered is not for the Wall of Stuff or even the famous host, but for pies. The show had many pie-themed stunts, like the Pie Wash, Pie Pod, and Pie Coaster. On every episode, at least one contestant or audience member had gotten strapped in and had, by the show rules, up to four pies thrust in the face. And of course, the audience always wanted four pies per victim. Like many Nickelodeon shows, What Would You Do? reruns outnumbered the original run (90 episodes). If you were not a regular viewer, you were convinced you saw the same one to five shows every time you casually tuned in.moreless

    I was on this show when I was 9 (1992). Been trying to find the show I was on but easier said then done. I know there are two vhs's around but too lazy to find them. I was on the first series, pie pod and crown n glory.

    I remember my family and I laughing so hard at the family challenge episode where a family had to play twister (messy style) barefoot. I laughed when they had to squish wet dog food, pizza, whip cream, ice placed on the twister board especially when the wet dog food oozed up between the toes. The pie slide was the best messy challenge on the show other then some of the stunts. I tried to get my son and husband and myself to be on the show but we never got around to visit the studio. lol lol lol lol lolmoreless
  • I have memories of watching this show as I grew up, and they are all good.

    This show was the best game show in my opinion of it's time- atleast on Nickelodean. While Double Dare was a good show, What Would You Do grew on me much more. I absolutely loved it. Whenever it came on the TV I would run in and sit down. Of course it has been awhile since this show was aired, but if you have digital cable and get the channel Nick GAS, they still show this. I watched an episode or two at my friends house recently and it still held it's magic. It wasn't as good as when you were a little kid; but really are things ever REALLY as good as they are remembered? This is a good show to watch if you have nothing else to do.moreless

    What whould you do was another classic nick show, Marc Summers and everything that happen on the show involved the audenice, The show would sometimes end up outside and they would go around Universial Studios asking people to do crazy things. The shows main theme was pie, they had the pie coaster and a couple of others that I cant remember but someone was always getting hit with a pie.
  • This is one of the worst shows I've ever seen!!!

    This is really a bad show. I'm glad this got cancelled, but I would have cancelled it after the first episode. This show is unoriginal, and comes up with weird topics for audience participation. Half of the things they do are just to fill in the time. I strongly recommend you do not watch this show. You aren't missing anything.
  • pie slide
    the pie slide was the most awsome device on this show it was the best way to get really messy!!
