[quote=Anonymous]This show was always written in carefully crafted haiku. I always saw the whole show as a metaphor for the U.S. in the 20th century. Don emerges from the depression era, pulls himself up by his own bootstraps, cheats a little, but still very much self made. Gets himself out of the depression (his home of origin) into his new re-invented life of prosperity - in the same time frame as did the U.S. - post-war boom, cigarettes, the automobile, civilian/passenger air travel - all of it. Dawdles a little in the hippie life, but returns to full-throttle thrust ahead american motivation. Just like the U.S., the tawdry past is never far away-- his / our closet full of skeletons. A 20th-century coming-of-age metaphor. Yes I was an english major.[/quote]
