Synopsis

The animated series had a live-action appearance from its title star at the beginning of each episode, wherein he explained the show's premise. Nick McClary, Culkin's animated character, was in possession of a fantastic glove which, if punched three times, would grant any wish he wanted. The only catch was that the glove could be used just once per week, and the wish never lasted forever.

Nick's best friend, Darryl Singletary, was the only one in on the secret, and he always managed to get tangled up in Nick's adventures. However, in one episode where Nick wished his grandfather to be a child again, he indirectly reveals the secret. However, when the wish wore off and the grandfather returned to his proper age, he promised Nick and Darryl that he would not tell anyone of the wishing glove. Nick's reporter/photographer father and real estate agent mother were usually away from home, so the only suspicions came from nosy neighbor Mrs. Opal. Aside from Mrs. Opal, Nick also had to deal with his baby sister Katie (voiced by Mac's little sister Quinn) and local bully Frankie Dutweiler.

DVD Release

DIC Entertainment currently has no plans to release the animated series on DVD at this time.
