Hocus Focus was a fun children's TV show. It aired from 1979 to 1981. You could watch it on the new Nickelodeon network back then.

What Was Hocus Focus About?

The show followed a young wizard named Kryspen Quester. He was still learning his magic. Kryspen was sent on a special quest by his magic teacher. This quest made him travel through time! He went from the Middle Ages all the way to modern times.

Kryspen ended up working in the film department of a museum. He showed short films there. He wasn't alone, though! His pet, Oulak, could change shapes. Kryspen also had other friends. There was Professor Rhombus, who was a bit forgetful. A young woman named Daisy was also his friend. And he even had a talking book! The show only ran for about one year.
