Three Wishes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Three Wishes is a reality television show that premiered on NBC and CityTV on September 23, 2005. It features contemporary Christian musician Amy Grant as she travels around the country fulfilling the big wishes and dreams of some needy small-town residents.
The show comes into a town, takes over the town square to take wishes at their, "Wish Tent", and then films the episode in the following days. During this time, a free concert and carnival are held at which Amy Grant (and often another artist, such as Hootie and the Blowfish) performs. Though Grant's music was heard in most episodes, it was only through brief excerpts of her live performances the show's theme song, as Grant did not want to use the series to promote her own music. Casting is held well in advance of taking wishes in order to determine suitability for filming at the location.
The show was developed and executive produced by Andrew Glassman and Jason Raff.
The series ended after its first season. Despite relatively strong ratings (most airings won their timeslot), NBC cancelled the show, citing high production costs and the struggling network's need for a more profitable Friday night line-up.
