Wishman: The Genetic Wonder

I have vague memories of Wishman. I believe the project may have been billed as "Wishman: The Genetic Wonder." The plot involves the creation of a small, quasi-human, genetically engineered being. This being is rescued or liberated from a lab by two scientists who then go on the run, trying to establish civil rights and freedom for Wishman.

This may have been a pilot for a proposed series. If so, I suspect that Wishman may have been somewhat disconcerting. The producers were trying to go for "E.T." cuteness, I think, but Wishman is too close to human for comfort. In any event, I have never seen or heard of "Wishman" since it first appeared.

Trivia
Failed pilot for a proposed ABC TV series. It was aired once on June 23, 1983, and then never seen again.

Goofs
When Dr. Wish first starts talking to Dr. MacGregor on the phone from his car, it's daytime. The scene cuts to MacGregor in a limo for a few moments, but when it cuts back to Wish, it's suddenly nighttime.
