- Character of Connie Brooks: The central character, Connie Brooks, was portrayed by actress Eve Arden. Connie was a sharp-witted and resourceful teacher who often found herself caught up in comical situations. She was dedicated to her students and had a penchant for getting involved in their lives, as well as the lives of her colleagues.
- Madison High School: The setting for most of the show's action was Madison High School, where Connie worked.
