Show Review: Three Wishes
If you did not watch the premiere of NBC’s new reality show Three Wishes, and if you are thinking about watching a future episode, then the Dodo has a warning for you: Keep a box of facial tissue near you while you watch.
Three Wishes is such a tear-jerker that the show can make a Vulcan cry in public . . . even if the Vulcan has completed Kolinahr.
The show’s premiere featured three main wishes.
The first wish was for a young girl who had been in an automobile accident. The girl’s face had been disfigured, and her skull was missing some pieces. The wish was that the girl could undergo reconstructive surgery so that she could once again participate in the sports that she enjoyed.
The second wish was for a high school. Its football field was in such bad shape that football players frequently became injured as the result of slipping in mud. The wish came from the school’s cheerleading coach, who was undergoing treatment for cancer. Her wish was that the school’s football field could have artificial turf.
The third wish pertained to a boy whose biological father had been killed. When his mother re-married, the boy’s step-father became the boy’s hero. The step-father had wanted to adopt the boy, but bureaucratic red tape had prevented the adoption. The boy’s wish was that his adoption by his step-father could finally take place.
Other smaller wishes were featured, but the show focused on three main wishes, which is why the show has its particular name.
The Dodo is pleased to report that all three main wishes were granted.
And speaking of “granted” . . .
If Amy Grant shows up in your community, and she isn’t there to perform in a concert, then you can be certain that wishes will soon be granted and lives will be transformed for the better.

This is THE best show on TV right now. Apparently it's doing pretty well now seeing as they are in a 2 hour timeslot next week. Average Joe was fun to watch, but Mr Glassman really struck gold on this one. Superb!
