Wish You Were Here is an American sitcom that premiered on July 20, 1990 as a summer replacement on CBS in the 9:30pm slot which lasted for only six episodes. Its premise was that stockbroker Donny Cogswell, portrayed by Lew Schneider, quits his job and sends video cassette postcards of his European adventures to family and friends back in the United States.

Donny Cogswell, a stockbroker in New York on Wall Street acquires a new video camera. He begins recording with it much to the chagrin of his boss who notes Donny's attitude problem. Donny decides to quit his job before being fired (all the while recording his conversation with his boss) and travel the world with his camcorder, mailing videotapes of his adventures and interviews he conducts with local people back to his family, friends and girlfriend in the USA near Cleveland. Sometimes his destinations are chosen by other characters met along the way.

Some, if not all of the footage from Donny's camera was shot on Hi-8mm Videotape.
