In 1965, the show aired as two independent half-hour programs. The Atom Ant Show featured the tiny superhero Atom Ant, with additional segments The Hillbilly Bears and Precious Pupp. The Secret Squirrel Show features the master spy Secret Squirrel, backed up with Squiddly Diddly and Winsome Witch.[2] In the winter, the shows combine into an hour-long format, The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show. For the series' final NBC run under the Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel title, the show was a half-hour long.[3]
On September 12, 1965, the series had an hour-long primetime preview on NBC called The World of Secret Squirrel and Atom Ant or The World of Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel.[4]
