"Three Wishes" might be Reality TV worth watching

It is rare that I would choose to post anything about TV here, but this story on the new "Three Wishes" program on NBC makes it sound like it may be worth a watch. The review is from Plugged In Online which is a media review website run by Focus on the Family.
The fact is, Three Wishes is all about helping people in need. When a young couple’s dairy farm is lost to a fire, the show goes above and beyond the wife’s meager wish to “get a little help.” Instead, they get a day off at a nearby amusement park and a new, massive, state-of-the-art dairy farm. Similarly, when a high school senior is involved in a debilitating car accident shortly before graduating, producers fulfill the family’s wish to see the now wheelchair-bound girl receive her diploma by bringing in hundreds of classmates and friends for a makeup ceremony. As if that weren’t enough, she receives intense physical therapy and, with some helping hands and a thunderous ovation from the crowd, actually walks to accept her certificate.
The new show stars Amy Grant, as well.
