"You Wish" is an American sitcom that premiered on September 26, 1997. It started as part of ABC's TGIF programming on Friday nights for the fall of 1997, along with "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch", "Boy Meets World", and "Teen Angel".

Just as "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" was considered a 1990s version of "Bewitched", "You Wish" was a 1990s version of "I Dream of Jeannie". In this situation, a genie lives with a family, instead of a single man.

In the show's pilot episode, Gillian Apple (Harley Jane Kozak) and her two children, Mickey Apple (Alex McKenna) and Travis Apple (Nathan Lawrence) visit a rug shop where they meet the owner, Madman Mustafa (John Rhys-Davies). There they buy a rug, where they unexpectedly release a genie (John Ales), who has been imprisoned for 2,000 years. The genie's name is simply "Genie", although in the first episode Gillian refers to him as "Steve from Canoga Park," an alias he later uses. Jerry Van Dyke was introduced to the show in the third episode as Genie's Grandpa Max.

Crossovers

Although the series made a total of 13 episodes, it was taken off after the 7th episode, "Genie Without a Cause." This episode, which aired on November 7, 1997, was part of a night-long "TGIF" retro crossover, which started with "Sabrina". Sabrina invented a time ball, which Salem swallowed and caused the time period to be the 1960s. Salem then crossed over to "Boy Meets World", turning it into the 1940s, then this series to the 1950s and then to "Teen Angel" to the 1970s.

Cancellation

After the series was withdrawn from the TGIF lineup, reruns of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch" (mainly from the previous season) took the show's spot. The remaining 5 unaired episodes of the series were shown in May and June of 1998; these episodes were aired after the season finales of "Sabrina" and "Boy Meets World".
