Dudley Do-Right's prominent chin was modeled after Hayward's chin. The
"Dudley" episodes have a melodramatic style based on old silent movies,
one of Hayward's passions.
At the Jay Ward studio, Hayward worked with
Allan Burns as writers for
The Bullwinkle Show (1959). They left the Ward studio in the
early 1960s, when television was dominated by shows about wholesome
families. They teamed up to do a TV series "about a family that was
just plain weird." The result was The Munsters (1964).
