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.{{cite book |last1=Becker |first1=Christine |title=It's the Pictures That Got Small: Hollywood Film Stars on 1950s Television |date=2008 |publisher=Wesleyan University Press |isbn=978-0-8195-6894-6 |pages=116–117 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=I3kfjXHm1CwC&dq=%22reaching+down+to+the+level+of+women%27s+mag+fiction%22&pg=PA116 |access-date=February 23, 2022 |language=en}}
