The series was hosted by actress June Allyson and was a Four Star-Pamric Production. Allyson sometimes starred in episodes, one of which ("A Summer's Ending") was her first appearance on TV with her husband, Dick Powell.
Aaron Spelling was the producer. Paul Henreid, James Neilson, and Jack Smight were directors. Richard Levinson and William Link were writers for the program.
Allyson took offense when critics dismissed the program with comments that included comparing its episodes to contents of women's fiction magazines. "Any show that stars a woman just naturally seems to be called a soap opera, whether it is or not", she said.
