I'd like a show where Sonic and Mario team up to fight Dark Lord Sony and his giant enemy crabs for massive ratings.

THANK YOU! Finally someone else remembers that long forgotten series. Too bad you didn't see too much more of Mr. Fusco after that series. Puppetry and cartoons. Now that's the way to make great entertainment. Too Bad Dog City and the ALF cartoons were the only ones that really amde it.... Poor Muppet Babies and Monsters....
Why i brought that up? I got the shows confused as soon as I started typing. For a second, I was going to say "Hey Didn't it have Gilbert in it"...until I remembered. No. No it didn't.

I remember that the theme song was a re-do of The Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace" (complete with the re-frain: "Yow, baby! Wishin's what I like.").
Looking back, the show falls into that ever-widening category of "I watched this as a kid?! Was I dropped on my head?!" programs.

I remember "Wish Kid"---think "Fairly OddParents" and "Sabrina the Teenage Witch" done Culkin-style (i.e., every episode was "kid makes a wish each week to improve his life somehow, but the wish backfires, and he learns he was better off not having bothered in the first place because ").
Also recall the theme song (a variation on "Chantilly Lace" by the Big Bopper) and a bully named Frances (but insisted on being called "Frankie"). Hmm, "Fairly OddParents" has a bully named Frances as well...

Funny thing about that last season.
WishKid and ProStars both had theme songs that were remakes of two familiar songs, The Big Bopper's "Chantilly Lace" and Queen's "We Will Rock You." Funny thing is, well, DiC, who produced both shows, never got permission from the copyright holders to use those songs, so, by a few episodes into the series, the themes were altered enough so they were similar but different.

DIC did a similar thing second season of Caprain N. They were too cheap to get the rights to real songs, and to retain them (explaining their absense in SMB SS reruns) so they used sound alikes. Some were boarderline copywrite infringements. Especially "Now You're a man" (a copy of the song "Walk line a Man" even with the falsetto singers) and "do the Freak" (which I'm surprised they got away with, since it sounds almost exactly like monster Mash)
