message: It would be a lot better if a link to the actual music was included, as some people are searching the Peter Gunn music...

replies: text: The "Music" section is becoming a haven for fancruft.  I trimmed it slightly, but it could stand a good gutting.  The purpose of the section is to sketch the influence the tune has had, not to list every obscure instance in which it was used.  IMO, the ranging list of cover artists should be pared down to those who are well-known.  As a guide, anyone who doesn't have an article in Wikipedia should go.  Film uses make sense, but an extensive list of television shows in which a few bars are used should not be included.  And let's face it, Spy Hunter is really the only name needed to represent the video game industry.  If no one takes a crack at this, I'll do it myself, but expect a lot of casualties. 71.200.134.47 (talk) 18:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: GO for it, fellow editors. "Be bold." I've tagged the section for the large amount of un-cited, potentially original research the Music section contains, particularly the first two paragraphs. Anything that can't be referenced, particularly the claims of Mancini lifting from other music, should be removed. -- David Spalding (☎ ✉ ✍) 01:11, 12 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: The "Music" section tagged for review is not only original research, but is factually incorrect — in particular, the bit about "exclusion of the major third," which is just … wrong. The major third occurs twice in each repetition of the ostinato: F F G F Ab(bend)A F Bb A, with the A being the major third. I'm just deleting the whole paragraph; if somebody finds a citable (and correct) secondary source, the analysis can go back in. !melquiades (talk) 19:16, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

message: Three times 38 is 114 and the article mentions 114, but the upcoming DVD info says 115. AMCKen (talk) 06:42, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Original source was wrong - it's 114. I changed the listing and updated the cite to the actual press release. — WylieCoyote (talk) 03:58, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: How Many Episodes?

message: There was one originally, although badly formatted (read: un-Wikified). I am currently working on a similar one for List of The Rifleman episodes, which was also horribly created. When I have the time, I will do one for Peter Gunn as well. An entire episode list does not belong in a main article. — WylieCoyote (talk) 04:01, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Made a start, but summaries need to be added. 64.40.54.37 (talk) 07:11, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with WylieCoyote; The List of episodes should be a separate page. Also, should each episode have a cast list? I've added a cast section to the main article, It seems messy and unneccessary to have it in the episodes without a synopsis. — Msmarmalade (talk) 08:07, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

text: I've moved the episode list to List of Peter Gunn episodes and removed the cast lists within the episode summaries. I am working on a 'minor characters' cast list now. —Msmarmalade (talk) 04:17, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Episode List 

message: The tags are not very helpful. It would be better to describe in detail what needs to be fixed. As far as references go, this article already has references including inline citations, so I have removed that from the Multiple issues tag. If something specific needs to be fixed, use a  tag instead. 64.40.54.37 (talk) 07:22, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tags 

message: Ok, so there were a lot of minor characters in Peter Gunn.  And a surprising amount of the actors do have wiki articles. What I'm wondering, is if there is any point putting them in the Peter Gunn article (or the episode list)? I was going to make a list but there are far too many (upwards of 200). And I certainly can't identify which ones are noteworthy.
Here's a link  of the article with the cast list shown in the episodes.
Anyway, other than this, I'm done editing these two articles :). cbf anymore tbh ;D.

thread_title:  Minor characters/actors  

message: Just a question here. I was always under the impression that the novel "Peter Gunn, Murder to a Jazz Beat" by Henry Kane from 1960 was the origins of the Peter Gunn Character. Is this not the case of was this over looked?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.198.70.174 (talk) 09:45, 16 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origens 

message: Peter Gunn, Murder to a Jazz Beat, was published and copyrighted in 1960.
The television show ran from 1958 – 1961.
Blake Edwards developed Peter Gunn from an earlier fictional detective that he had created. Richard Diamond, Private Detective starred Dick Powell, and aired as a radio series from 1949 to 1953. David Janssen later starred in the television adaptation from 1957 to 1960. It was this character's success which prompted his creator to revisit the concept as Peter Gunn. Edwards had earlier written and directed a Mike Hammer television pilot for Brian Keith.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: When the series was still on the air I read somewhere that Stevens was cast only after Cary Grant couldn't be had. Is this apocryphal? Seems unrealistic to approach a star of Grant's caliber given the difference in pay between film and tv, which I think was vast at the time. On the other hand it's believable that the character could have been written with Grant in mind. Don G Taylor (talk) 02:49, 11 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Casting 

message: I'm sure the cited source makes this claim, but it doesn't seem correct. Just looking at the Wikipedia articles for other 1950s television crime series, the detective characters in Man Against Crime, The Files of Jeffrey Jones, I'm the Law, Front Page Detective, Meet McGraw, The Telltale Clue, Rocky King Detective, M Squad, Markham, and Mysteries of Chinatown appear to have been created for television. I wouldn't be surprised if at least some of the programs above were based on existing material from other media not reflected in the articles, but the odds that this is the case for all of them seem improbably high. 206.77.150.85 (talk) 17:40, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
