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:
“Ends in themselves, my letters plot no change;
They carry nothing dutiable; they won’t
Aspire, astound, establish or estrange.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
