Peter Gunn

Peter Gunn

Peter Gunn is an American private eye television series, starring Craig Stevens as Peter Gunn with Lola Albright as his girlfriend Edie Hart, which aired on NBC from September 22, 1958, to 1960 and on ABC in 1960-1961. The series was created by Blake Edwards, who, on occasion, was also writer and director. The series is notable for being the first televised detective program whose character was created for television, whereas other early TV detectives had earlier appeared in other media. The series is probably best remembered today for its music, including the iconic "Peter Gunn Theme", which was nominated for an Emmy Award and two Grammys for Henry Mancini and subsequently has been performed and recorded by many jazz, rock, and blues musicians. The series was No. 17 in the Nielsen ratings for the 1958–1959 TV season.

    I like the Peter Gunn quote from the movie : "there is something about a funeral that makes me want to get drunk, start a fight and shack up with a redhead ..... not necessary in that order".
