Primetime: What Would You Do?9/8c ABCTragically, gay bullying has been in the news since the death of Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi in September, and a bullying scenario is played out tonight by actors in real-life settings before real-life bystanders as ABC News' hidden-camera character test returns for its fourth season. Other scenarios include a high-school boy getting a lesson in more than schoolwork by the sexually aggressive older woman who's tutoring him; and a would-be recruit and an elderly veteran being harassed by antiwar demonstrators at a military-recruitment center. — Paul DroeschWhat Not to Wear9/8c TLC Most people remember Mindy Cohn for her portrayal of Natalie Green on the 1980s sitcom Facts of Life.

So style mavens Stacy London and Clinton Kelly give Cohn a glam new look in the Season 8 opener, while helping her get rid of the frumpy, shapeless outfits that could easily land her on Hollywood's worst dressed list. — Karen Andzejewicz
