Jefferson High School, located in the small Midwestern
town of Jefferson City, was the setting for this live
situation comedy. The central character was Robinson
Peepers, a shy, quiet, slow-moving science teacher
whose efforts to do the right thing always seemed to
backfire. He was such a nice guy that everyone on the
staff tried to mother him and the students all thought
he was great, despite being laughable at times. His
best friend was history teacher Harvey Weskit, whose
brash self-confidence contrasted with Robinson's low-key
personality. Other regulars in the cast were the school
nurse, Nancy Remington, English teacher Mrs. Gurney
(whose husband was the principal in the first season),
and their families. During the first season music
appreciation teacher Rayola Dean was Mr. Peepers
romantic interest. In the fall of 1952 Nurse Nancy
Remington became his girlfriend. Their romance
blossomed and they were married at the end
of the 1953-1954 season.
