You Wish is an American fantasy sitcom that 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. You Wish was considered a 1990s version of I Dream of Jeannie. In this situation, a genie lives with a family, instead of a single man.
