I didn’t want to hijack the faboo Electric Company thread, but I swear I am the _only_ person I know who remembers a kids’ show called “Make A Wish”.

Unfortunately, I don’t remember much–just that the intro consisted of a hippy guy walking through the woods, saying, “Make a Wish…”

Nobody else remembers this.

I’m beginning to think maybe I got hold of some of those “special” stickers as a kid. 😛

Hmm, Tom Chapin… weird. I never knew it was him.

I remember this show pretty well. It came on after Wonderama if I remember correctly. I still hear the theme song in the back of my mind sometimes. It was not a good show as I remember.

Yeah, **rogerb** , as I recall, I only stuck around for the opening theme of that show and _Big Blue Marble_. I don’t remember anything about the show to save my life, so I’m not sure if I ever watched it at all… I just remember the hippy guy, who I now know was Harry Chapin’s brother.
