1991: CBS Debuts Slapstick Sitcom 'Morton & Hayes'
July 24, 2020  | By TV WW  | 5 comments
 
On this day in 1991, CBS introduced the creative comedy series, Morton & Hayes. Produced and hosted by Rob Reiner, the show was presented as though it was a documentary, with Reiner as a present-day television host showcasing "rediscovered" film clips from a forgotten (fictional) comedy duo, Morton & Hayes, that dated back to the late '30s and early '40s.

The stars of the black-and-white slapstick-rich shorts were played by Kevin Pollak (as Chick Morton) and Bob Amaral (Eddie Hayes), in the spirit of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello or Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy. Five of the six episodes aired were directed by the series' co-executive producer Christopher Guest. (The sixth was helmed by his This is Spinal Tap co-star, Michael McKean.) 

Guest stars in the featured shorts included Guest, McKean, Catherine O'Hara, Allison Janney, Courteney Cox and Joe Flaherty.

CBS, which had tremendous success with Northern Exposure last summer, leads the pack in summer programming and has some impressive heavyweight talent on its roster.

The sun also sets on literary reputations, especially when a famous writer's flamboyant lifestyle and personal peccadilloes threaten to overwhelm the work for which he became famous.
