''Morton & Hayes'' was a short-lived . Only six episodes were shown, from July 24 to August 28 , 1991 .

This series was centered around the "rediscovered" work of a fictitious comedy duo.


FORMAT


Each 30-minute episode was presented in the style of a Documentary , in which host Rob Reiner introduced another long-lost comedy Film Short starring Chick Morton ( Kevin Pollak ) and Eddie Hayes (Bob Amaral).

Each Black-and-white Morton & Hayes short was played, not as a Parody of old-time comedy, but a tribute to it. The films were made to look the way they would have if they'd been authentic, and the comedy was in the style of Abbott And Costello , with lean Morton in the "Abbott" role and plump Hayes as his "Costello."

After each film, Reiner would introduce and interview one or more of the actors from the picture ( Made-up to look decades older, of course). At the end of the last episode, the "now-elderly" Morton and Hayes were reunited on the show, after years of estrangement.
