You get one wish per day, and by sunset it all vanishes. That constraint sounds clean until you realize the show's real trick: watching three kids learn that getting exactly what you asked for is the fastest way to understand you didn't want it. Every episode is the same setup with different chaos, and it never stops being funny because the show knows the real wish was never the magic at all.

In England in the mid-1980s, three kids come across the last genie of the sands, who can grant them one wish a day and no more. The magic is temporary: once the sun goes down, whatever was wished for disappears. Each episode covers an ordinary day in which the trio wish for all sorts of strange and silly things, and the results usually end in a mess by the close. A fantasy TV series of 39 episodes from 1985.
