James, you got the message bang on. What happens to many men in middle age when they wake you with the brats they'd only wish on someone else, a wife who promised s much ad delivered so little, a typical suburban neighborhood where you hate your next door neighbor, or at least the wife and have some envy at the success of the husband until you find out he is like you only with more material wealth and pressures and you want and dream about what could have been and doing things to show you are still that young stud and can bed the 18 year olds but that bubble also keeps getting burst.
In some ways it is another take on middle America not too unlike Archie was a take on the transition from the America that predated the depression and through the '50s to the modern '60s so to speak. Archie though looked at the larger issues of the day and worked them into the script while MWC was more micro in the issues it centered on and while bringing them into the scripting did so only with innuendo and did not make it a center of the show except very occaisionally.
