OK. OK.  I didn't say it was a flawless theory, but it does deserve 
some thought.  While Leland did act weird alot of the time and Truman
seems normal, I think we must think back alittle further in the show.

Leland did not always act weird.  In the beginning, I recall him acting
fairly normal.  So much so, that I don't remember him starting off as
an obvious central character.  He seemed like a normal dad who lost
his daughter...until his hair turned white!  From that point, Leland 
moved central to the show and it became obvious that something was up.

Maybe we should see if Truman's hair turns white after he kills the one
he loves most...

Personnally, I think that this save the peaks thing with ABC is a waste.
NBC listened to viewers with Star Trek and CBS has listened to viewers
with Designing Women and Cagney/Lacey...BUT ABC has ABSOLUTELY NO history
in listening to viewers on any kind of quest like this.

I think we would spend our time much more wisely by courting another network
to pick up the show...most probably FOX.  Whereas any of the Big Three have a 
risk to be considered with the low ratings, FOX is accustomed to low ratings
and would do a much better job marketing the show to the niche audiance.  FOX
seems to specialize in shows for niche audiances.
