Kids, I need some help here: WHICH specific episodes show Peter Gunn's apartment festooned with primitive art!? And if you don't have a screen capture application, can you just snap some photos of your screen?

I just watched the 16 episodes of Peter Gunn Set 2 and there is NOTHING Tiki-esque to be found in his or any of the sets - as a matter of fact, the sets are so stagey and boring, it makes sense that the production company called itself "Spartan"! The episode with the "Bamboo Cafe", the episode with the Beatnik diver babes drinking from pineapples and handing out leis to Peter Gunn:
Embarrassingly cheap B-movie set dressing that would be easily outdone by any real Polynesian joint location.

Naugatiki: Those "Tiki Gods Co." stills from 5.O are amazing, thank you !!!

Has anyone noticed the killer tikis festooning Peter Gunn's pad...when he is home, that is?

Visual depictions of such findings are always appreciated on this forum :)

I just bought the Season 2 set (available in PAL format from Amazon UK), and have really noticed the decor of his pad. Classic 50's tiki culture and Henry Mancini's jazz score seem to go well together. (I'm not into hifi, but it looks like he also had a killer 50's setup.)
