I've only seen a little of Peter Gunn. Seemed like a setup with potential, so I may check it out again. Just haven't gotten around to it.
Definitely can't fault the music. Blake Edwards had already found Henry Mancini, who would go on to do the Pink Panther music, of course. He was doing some really atmospheric stuff.

I'm kind of surprised to see you haven't already been a fan of Peter Gunn. When our evening's entertainment proved too short to be satisfactory, we'd look forward to ending with an episode of Peter Gunn, Craig Stevens much cooler version of James Bond. Seeing the show again I've been amazed he never went on to be a leading man. It's interesting too that although you'd prefer the show had been given an hour to develop the stories told they were actually quite perfect as they were.
Blake Edwards gave us the first, and maybe the only, pure 'noir' tv show what with dark urban sets filmed at night and his home from home at Mother's where his beautiful girlfriend Edie sings in front of a jazz band. I think you'll find the series quite a treat.
