WISH KID SUMMARY:
Wish Kid was a Saturday morning animated series created to play off the success of pre-teen movie star 
Macaulay Culkin. This show opened with Macaulay in a live-action appearance in which he explained the 
show's premise. Nick McClary (Culkin) owned a magic baseball glove which, if punched three times, 
granted his every wish he desired. The only catch was that the glove could be used just once per week. 
Stories revolved around Nick's wishes and the trouble that usually followed. Nick's best friend was 
Darryl, the only one in on the glove's secrets and usually became involved in the adventures. Nick was 
frequently harassed by Frankie Dutweiler, the neighborhood bully; other characters included neighbor 
Mrs. Opal, Nick's Mom and Dad and his baby sister, Katie. In 1994, The Family Channel commissioned 52 
all-new episodes of Wish Kid.
