The show, which is set in the fictional town of Puzzleopolis, featured Wizbit, an alien magician, Wooly, his rabbit friend, Paul Daniels, who owned his theater ("Paul's Playhouse"), and a villain named Professor Doom, who, along with his cat Jinx, lived in a castle that flew above Puzzleopolis.

Two episodes from the first season were released on VHS in 1989, titled Wizbit and Friends. In 2007, "Punchinello" was released on a DVD via an eBay listing that has now expired. In 2010, three iOS applications featuring three Wizbit episodes each were released, but may have been removed afterward.
The show hasn't had an official release otherwise. However, a handful of episodes from the series along with various clips can be found online.
