    I have been telling everyone what a great show this is! I really like the fact that the whole community usually benefits from one of the wishes. Someone told me this show was cancelled - I hope not!!!!!

    Grant is a superstar of apparently genuine compassion.

    This show has restored my faith not only in television in human nature in general. This is the America I remember growning up in, where people cared about other people. Shame on those people who give it a low rating. They must be part of the jaded America we've become. Keep up the good work!

    It seems almost too sweet to be true. Goog "Three Wishes" drinking game. Take a shot everytime you hear the word "God".

    This show is a genuine 10. It is the only show I have ever seen that shows real life examples of how I want my life to be. The problem with ratings is that we as viewers still need to work in order for us to deserve a score of 10.

    It's hard to quibble with such a philanthropic series, even while its motives are, of course, Nielsen-based. But it's easy to quibble with the condescension, fraudulence, and manipulation of ''Three Wishes," as every single scene is ruthlessly choreographed to put a lump in our throats.
  2. This is annoying beyond my comprehension.

    There's something about "Three Wishes" and all these shows that seems exploitative and programmatic.
