Compare this show to Mad Men. November 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Enough said. It looks like the writers of Mad Men have seen many Peter Gunn shows. I like both and like to pick put some errors in MM regarding furniture etc. Peter Gunn is the standard for many other shows that followed. I love the way each show starts. A hock, then the plot. Simple and very cool. The deep voice comes from smoking too much. I love Peter Gunn.

What fun to watch!!! March 28, 2008

Like most baby boomers who watched this show, we remember the theme song.
What a treat to find these two editions on sale & purchase them. It's the Maltese Falcon/James Bond character, played by Craig Stevens, rolled into one. The plots vary in quality, as do the tranfers of this product. But, that's not what matters--it's the style, era, sets, music & the hot(for it's time)chemistry between Mr Stevens & his gal, played by Lola Albright. It's like stepping back into the hip coolness of light jazz, big cars, the whole era of the late 50's. I wasn't aware of the major influences of the beatniks until seeing this show. Stereotyped, but now informed of the contributions they don't get credit for. I wish they would release Surfside 6, 77 Sunset strip, Mr. Lucky & others in this field. Anybody who wants to remember the golden age of real detective shows would enjoy these two volumns--1 & 2. BUY!!!

Thoroughly enjoyable May 15, 2007

I bought both season one and two of Peter Gunn, both because it sounded like something I would enjoy, myself, but also because we are caring for my aged mother. She is bed bound and there is not much on TV these days that she finds entertaining.

These episodes have been a great find for us. Each one finds a new situation, interesting characters, some wonderful jazz, and a great deal more humor than I had expected. (Not "fall in the floor laughter" but very amusing and lovable characters, and some very challenging and entertaining situations for both Gunn and his police lieutenant pal, Jacobi.)

If you love really good jazz (by some wonderful guest entertainers), and good character development, you should find the Peter Gunn series (both seasons) a real forgotten treasure.

Gunn Gets Better September 16, 2006
16 out of 17 found this review helpful

Long before Crockett and Tubbs, before Magnum and Dan Tanna, and before Tony Franciosa as Matt Helm or Mike Conners as Mannix, there was Peter Gunn. He was cool. He was the guy every girl wanted and every guy wanted to be like. He lived in a cool world of jazz and bad guys, and girls who needed his help. He had a cool and sexy girlfriend, a little on the sweet side. Some of his friends, like Lt. Jacoby, were squares. It somehow made Gunn even cooler, that you didn't have to be cool yourself to be his pal.

Craig Stevens was Peter Gunn and Lola Albright was his girl, Edie Hart. Hershel Bernardi was his cop pal Lt. Jocoby. Hope Emerson was "Mother." She ran the jazz joint Gunn frequented. Blake Edwards was the guy who dreamed up Peter Gunn in the first place. By accident, he ran into a guy by the name of Mancini while getting his hair cut, and the music Mancini would write for Gunn would change television forever. It would also begin a long and fruitful friendship that would give moviegoers and music lovers such classics as "Days of Wine and Roses" and "The Pink Panther."

While there is an occasional washed out look to these black and white episodes, the convenience of having so many great episodes on the two discs sort of makes up for the occasional lack of quality. While the first boxed set offered some great episodes, including "Lynn's Blues," which I feel is the best of the series, the second boxed set is actually more colorful.

While Mancini's West Coast jazz score and the noirish tone continued, the locations offered Gunn a chance to roam a bit, as the show got even better. Craig Stevens will always have a special place in TV history as the very cool, Peter Gunn. This show broke new ground in television for its blend of music and action, and set a tone for what cool really was. This is a must have for "Peter Gunn" fans and anyone else who loves classic television. There may indeed not be much that's new here, but that is only because Craig Stevens as Peter Gunn started it all.
