Make a Wish (TV series)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Make A Wish was an American television series which ran on ABC from 1971 to 1976. It was hosted by musician Tom Chapin and created and produced by Lester Cooper.

The series, broadcast on Sunday mornings, focused on a particular theme. One episode, for instance, was about snakes, another about motorcycles. Chapin would introduce the topic in much the same manner: "I think a snake is what I'll be. Imagine all the possibilities." After that there would be a sort of free association featuring stock footage, animation, and Chapin's music and voiceover commentary.

The series won a Peabody Award for Best Children's Series in 1971.

Make A Wish would be replaced in 1976 with Animals, Animals, Animals.
