Australia
Known in Australia simply as The Nutty Squirrels, the series was first transmitted on Australian television during early 1966, on ABC. It first featured as part of a show called "Cartoon Time" which ran on Saturday afternoons at 5pm. This 40-minute show also consisted of other cartoons, including King Leonardo and His Short Subjects. Also featured was Felix the Cat.
The Nutty Squirrels cartoon series then made frequent appearances over the years, appearing off and on in 1970 and also during 1972. At the time in Australia, these transmissions were in black and white.
From 1976, the Nutty Squirrels series was again shown, this time in its original color format.
The main transmission of the Nutty Squirrels cartoon series in Australia came in the form of a package of at least 90 x 6 minute episodes. From December 1977, the Nutty Squirrels series was permanently adapted to the 5:30pm weekday timeslot, running Monday through to Friday. During this run, the Nutty Squirrels series ran right through to March 1979.
After broadcast on the ABC, the Nutty Squirrels series, was for a short time, resyndicated to some of Australia's regional commercial television stations. These were mainly in NSW, with the broadcasts occurring during 1981 and 1982.
