Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Very Enjoyable
Review: Okay, maybe the "pro DVD" folks don't like the quality. But I enjoyed this set very much. The whole concept, the acting, the snub-nose 38, the martinis, his girlfriend, everything... is cool! I own both sets and they are the current favorites in my player.

Summary: A GREAT Series with POOR quality transfers!
Review: Shame on A&E for using the syndicated masters on the series. In many cases hissy, 16mm prints with scratches in them. To make matters worse, the episodes are cut 22 minute syndicated versions. Another BIG disappointment. The packaging should have been the tip off here...COLOR pictures do exist from the series BUT so-so black and white shots used for the covers. This series deserves better!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's Still Peter Gunn!
Review: Sheeesh... why do the DVD purists bad-mouth these recordings. The video and audio are as good (if not better) than I recall getting on my old Dumont TV in the late 50's. It's still Peter, Edie, Mother and Lt. Jacobi all wrapped up into delicious 22-24 minute bites of nostalgia, with Henry Mancini's mellow notes thrown in. If you're a true Peter Gunn fan, as I am, you will really go for it.

Summary: Bulls-eye!
Review: The best noir ever made for the small silver screen, this classy series exudes as much pizzazz today as in its heyday! The dark streets glisten with rain and neon, the nightclubs steam with sultry jazz and smokey-voiced women, and stalwart men stalk the unlit alleyways, shadowy docks, and hitman hideouts of the urban jungle. The storyline of each half-hour-slotted epidode is tight and to the point, but time is still taken to explore the relationahip between Gunn and his glib, glamourous girlfriend Edie, his matron-with-moxie chum Mother, and the dogged, job-bound Lt. Jacoby. The series has a timeless ambience. It oozes with hot, on-the-surface sexuality without being brazenly explicit, and the violence is palpably throbbing without being gratuitous or gorey. As terrific television, it's right on target!

Review: These are excellent. I enjoyed them very much, just like I did the shows a long time ago. I wish I could find some more of the shows.
