Phyllis Coates played her mother Clarissa Mae Holliday and Alice's father Chet was played by Tommy Farrell. Kathy Garver (later of Family Affair) played Alice's friend, Sally.[1]

39 episodes were produced and directed by Sidney Salkow for National Telefilm Associates and filmed at Desilu Productions. The series aired at 8:00 on Thursday nights. Production of the series halted in mid-1959, but previously aired episodes continued to air as late as July 1961.[2]
