Wish Kid was an animated television series that originally aired on NBC. The premise of the show was that Macaulay's character Nicholas McClary (Nick for short) owned a baseball glove that had been hit by a small shooting star. When punched three times it allowed him wish for anything. However, the power was very limited as Nick could only wish for something once a week (a rather sly nod to its weekly Saturday airings). Also, the wishes would cancel after after a certain about of time which would serve as the conflicts Nick gets into, forcing him to solve it.

Tropes used in Wish Kid include:

• Be Careful What You Wish For
• Berserk Button: Frankie Dutweiler hates being called Francis, and will beat up anyone who calls him that.
• Black and Nerdy: Darryl Singletary
• The Cassandra: Mrs. Opal
• Closer to Earth: Darryl
• Dean Bitterman
• The Faceless: Mrs. Opal's husband, Harry. Harry's face is almost always hidden under his newspaper. It's not seen even when it's not.
• A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted
• Hair of Gold: Nick McClary
• Limited Social Circle: Darryl seems to be Nick's only friend.
• Meganekko: The Principal's assistant.
