The show first premiered on TV Tokyo on July 6, 2011 and is still currently in syndication. The show features clips from past Ultra Series shows. The catchphrases for the series are "Let's do Shuwatchi together in front of the television at 6 o'clock on Wednesday!" (水6はテレビの前でみんなでシュワッチ!, Sui roku wa terebi no mae de min'na de Shuwatchi!^?) and "Kindness and courage to you!" (やさしさと勇気を、君へ!, Yasashisa to yūki o, kimi e!^?).

The new season of the show is titled New Ultraman Retsuden (新ウルトラマン列伝, Shin Urutoraman Retsuden^?) and premiered on July 3, 2013. Starting from April 2, 2016, New Ultraman Retsuden changed its broadcasting schedule from 6:00 pm in the Tuesday to 9:00 am in Saturday. Said change is also a part of the 50th anniversary celebration of the Ultra Series.
