Adam Buckman

A wall-to-wall weepfest. Read full review

Gillian Flynn

So, yeah, Three Wishes will leave your heartstrings over-fondled. But if you can get past that... it's also one of the most interactive TV shows around. [4 Nov 2005, p.63] Read full review

Verne Gay

There is at least one troubling aspect to "Wishes" - an abundance of product placements within the show itself, which begs the question: Does salvation come with a price tag? Read full review

Ned Martel

Jonathan Storm

Barry Garron

Glenn Garvin
