The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Atom Ant/Secret Squirrel Show was an hour-long Saturday morning cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions from 1965 to 1967 for NBC. The program contained several segments:
- Atom Ant: a cartoon about a superheroic ant. When he flew he used his catchphrase, "Up and at 'em! Atom Ant!"
- Secret Squirrel: the adventures of a secret agent squirrel and his mole assistant.
- Squiddly Diddly, a cartoon about a friendly anthropomorphic squid.
- Precious Pupp: a cartoon about a dog and his elderly lady master. He is characterized by a sneaky, wheezy laugh, making him a possible precursor to Muttley from Wacky Races.
- The Hillbilly Bears: a situation comedy, inspired by The Beverly Hillbillies, about the Rugg family of hillbilly bears.
- Winsome Witch: a cartoon about a friendly, yet somewhat inept, witch (named "Winsome Witch", sometimes called "Winnie" for short). Winnie's catch phrase when casting a spell was "Ippity - Pippity - Pow!" (Jet Screamer cue would accompany her witchcraft).
Atom Ant and Secret Squirrel aired independently of each other for the first part of the 1966–1967 season before recombining into ofteh hour-long format in the winter.
