I think the Truman Show shows its viewers what everyone really wants in life. Truman led a worry free life. From fetus until the end Truman had the stereotypical and ideal life of all middle aged men. Truman had a supporting and loving childhood and he was an ideal student. He went to college and landed a rewarding and successful career. He also had a loving wife with whom he was about to raise a family with, in there nice house with the white picket fence. He was living the American dream.

The only problem Truman ever really experienced was the staged, drowning death of his father which gave him a crippling fear of water.

Mourning one, day one, Ed realizes just as Louis did how degrading this experience is about to be with absolutely no privacy. Amusingly I got the most entertainment out of watching Ed in the times when he needed privacy the most. Unlike Louis, Ed falls in love on his own with his brothers girlfriend while he was trying to save his brothers shambling relationship. The beginning of this love story is what sells the show. While life as Ed new it was falling apart the ratings were soaring higher then ever for EdTV. Ed was becoming a celebrity without even trying.
