The Chet Morton Series
Chet is one of the most popular characters in The Hardy Boys. In fact, by the mid-sixties, Chet had become so popular that in 1965 the Stratemeyer Syndicate was planning to develop a series about him and his hobbies.
It seems that the Stratemeyer Syndicate did a lot of work on this series (even some complete chapters were written), yet the Syndicate didn’t ever begin publishing it.
A list of proposed titles in the Chet Morton series were found in the Stratemeyer Archives at the New York Public Library.
- 1. Chet Morton and the Funny Putty Caper
- 2. Chet Morton and the Talking Turkey
- 3. Chet Morton and the Mighty Muscle Builder
- 4. Chet Morton and the Stolen Flea Circus
- 5. Chet Morton and his Electronic Exam Passer
- 6. Chet Morton and his Bird-Brain Blimp
- 7. Chet Morton and the Monkey’s Uncle
- 8. Chet Morton and the Flying Fruitcake
- 9. Chet Morton and the Mystery at Tucks Cove
- 10 Chet Morton and the Mystery at the Friar Tuck House
- 11 Chet Morton and the Mystery of Ben's Bat
As shown by the titles this series was going to be a lot more humorous than The Hardy Boys series.

Famous quotes containing the words morton and/or series:
“Dr. Livingstone, I presume?”
—Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841–1904)
“If the technology cannot shoulder the entire burden of strategic change, it nevertheless can set into motion a series of dynamics that present an important challenge to imperative control and the industrial division of labor. The more blurred the distinction between what workers know and what managers know, the more fragile and pointless any traditional relationships of domination and subordination between them will become.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
