Timeless GUNN

As i was watching an episode or 2,i noticed once more how this show has a crispness that does not grow stale;

Perhaps :

-good synergy of Stevens,Lola and Hershel as Jacobi(add a dash of Mother)

-the jazz of Mancini can't be beat !

-sizzling dialogue

-and its always Noirish in its outlook

-pacing is wonderful

-the Cary Grantish resemblance gives Craig a certain dapper unflappableness

-tension between Albright & Stevens

-and Mother's is "the" place to hang-out !

You're right on all counts. I don't have access to METV right now, so I haven't seen it in years.

Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night.

Peter Gunn isn't on the METv schedule at the moment anyway. There are, however, quite a number of full episodes posted on youtube. I just checked and it appears that all 38 of the first season episodes are posted.

Thank you for the information. I don't really have access to You Tube, so I think I'll buy it on DVD.

Dandy thought, that. The quality of the Complete Series set (released in the Fall of 2012) is actually quite good. I own a set myself. It's just a wee tad pricey from amazon at present, but not terribly much more than buying the 3 seasons individually.

Did you buy it from Amazon, and if so how much did it cost?

Aye, I did. It's been a while ago (late 2015) but if I remember correctly, I paid less than $60 for it because I had a few dollars worth of credits at amazon which got me like $5 or $6 off the current $63 list price.

There are also reruns playing regularly on Pluto TV.

And the entire series is available for streaming on Hulu.

Thanks for the info!

I also discovered in the interim that for all Roku users, the entire series is available for streaming via "The Archive" Channel.

That's awesome.

I agree I found it pretty enjoyable. Binged the whole series in like a month.
