The superintendent of Ann's apartment building, Dwayne Schneider (played by Pat Harrington, Jr.) dropped by every so often to help Ann or her children in their various dilemmas. One of Schneider's running gags was his attempts to hide that his middle name was "Florenz" (pronounced like "Florence," he was given that middle name in honor of Florenz Ziegfeld).

The show was unique for its time in its mixture of a sitcom format with elements more commonly associated with drama series or made-for-TV movies of the week, including multi-week storylines dealing with social issues such as suicide and premarital sex. This format was lampooned on The Rerun Show as being a very special episode sort of series.
