Plot
The show starts out with its intro, which consists mostly of CGI animations with the "Ants In Your Pants" theme, written by children's music artist Douglas John.
The host, a puppet monkey in corduroy overalls, Lickety Split, then takes over. He lives in a large tree with his mother (who is not seen, only heard or mentioned), and usually explains what he has been doing lately, and a music video is shown. Ordinarily, there are 3 music videos, all separated by a Lickety Spilt segment.
In the second segment, the Pesky Ants, named Janesaw, Woodchip and Dusty, are introduced. They are three ants who are frequently cause trouble for him, but can also be helpful and kind on rare occasions.
In the third segment, "Kiddin' Around" and "Stretch and Wiggle!" are presented. Kiddin' Around features a CGI video camera showing kids doing fun activities. Stretch and Wiggle shows exercises. The last segment before the end of the show is 10 minutes long and is titled "Lickety's Tree Fort!" and features a guest star, such as Douglas John Cameron (referred to as "Douglas John" by that point in his career), Judy & David and (on one occasion) John Lithgow.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““The plot thickens,” he said, as I entered.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
