The Best of the Post

The Best of the Post is a syndicated anthology drama series adapted from stories published in the Saturday Evening Post magazine.[1] It was produced by John J. Enders and hosted by John Conte.[1] A total of 26 half-hour episodes, all in color, aired from 1960 to 1961[2] with stars that included Marie Windsor, Pat O'Brien, Charles Coburn, Peter Lorre, Bonita Granville, Buddy Ebsen, and Vincent Price.

Ted Post was the director.[3] The programs were produced by Jack Wrather Productions, with ITC handling distribution. A "large-scale promotional blitz" by the Post helped to pave the way for stations to broadcast the show.[2]
