This series, airing for three seasons and 114 episodes, was a dramatic program broadcast on first NBC and then on ABC from September 22, 1958 to September 18, 1961.

Trusted as one of the best investigators around, Peter Gunn was a sophisticated private eye with a taste for the finer things in life and a love of jazz.  Setting his usual fee at $1,000, Gunn would meet with clients at Mother’s, a jazz club at the wharf.  Cases were sometimes referred to him by Mother, a former singer and piano player who owned Mother’s, or by Lieutenant Jacoby, a police detective often involved in Gunn’s cases.

Peter Gunn would reappear in the movie Gunn in 1967, with Craig Stevens again playing the role.
