@XDelusion
The original show that one was based on was less boring:

Prolly as All in the Family was merely lame stereotypical liberal comedy made at the expense of lame stereotypical conservatives. Blah! On the other hand it did have the worst introduction song EVER! :)

Oh Yes. Greatest drum rolls in the history of the tube!

BTW - Even if you don't see an episode of "Peter Gunn", you've GOT to dig up a copy of the theme. Its got one evil base beat.
