2 SEP 2026 · We're starting a new mini-series! TGIFailure explores the terrible shows that ABC tried to make into hits throughout the 80s and 90s by shoving them into their mildly successful TGIF block!

Watch all of You Wish and read its backstory on https://archive.org/details/you-wish-1997-1998/01+Pilot.mp4
