Top Ten Posts of 2017

As the year draws to a close, the Classic Film & TV Cafe traditionally ends it with a countdown of our ten most viewed posts. We published a total of 104 in 2017. Naturally, the countdown is a little skewed, since those posts that came out at the start of the year will have more views. But that won't stop us...we love year-end lists!

We included only posts that were originally published during 2017. If we had not, The Five Best "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" Episodes would have crushed the competition (as always). We also omitted our monthly quizzes. To build a little suspense, we'll begin at No. 10 and work our way to No. 1.

But before we get started, we want to thank each of you who visited this blog this year and send some extra love to those who took the time to leave comments.

Finally, we want to pay homage to two very special celebrities who passed away in 2017. Dick Gautier and Heather Menzies Urich were kind enough to share their time with us and discuss their amazing careers in television and film (click on their names to read the interviews). They helped make Get Smart and The Sound of Music, respectively, the classics that they are!
