Don’t mess around with Mother.

The series has 114 episodes from 1958 to 1961. There are overlapping sets and seasons. Lots of fun standard 25-minute episodes where the problem arises in the first five minutes. Then the answer happens in about 15 to twenty minutes, and it wraps up with Peter played by Craig Stevens on top of the situation in 25 minutes. In most episodes, we get to listen to songs sung by Lola Albright as Edie Hart. By the way, Edie most of the time stumbles onto the scene at the most inappropriate moments. Why can’t she just stay in the car or at home? Peter spends a lot of time hanging around Mom’s place, “Mothers,” where he gets mysterious phone calls from the soon-to-be-dead. We listen to quasi-jazz tunes for the most part. The theme song is by Henry Mancini. It is still fun to watch and maybe fun to see old-time technology and hear antiquated speech. As for distracters complaining of the quality of the transfer, my DVD copy of these black and white episodes from 1958 looked much better on a large flat-screen LED than the old TV broadcasts. I have not watched it on the original broadcast. It is worth adding to your cultural knowledge. I have several Blake Edwards movies, all worth it.
