I've noticed that this newsgroup is getting rather uncontroversial.
How about this for an interpretation of TP?

- TP is a load of sentimental old twaddle form a notoriously right-wing
director, David Lynch. Repeated references to the 1950's in the show
indicate a desire to return to the so-called good old days. Lynch is
suggesting that an unseen evil is undermining modern society and the family
structure (cf. BOB's effects on TP and the Palmers). Coop is the
avenging crusader, representing the "ideal" American, and is a
personification of Lynch himself (cf. the spice is the worm, the worm is
the spice - Dune). Times change - David "It's a pity that I might get
into trouble with the law if I shoot someone in my backyard" Lynch
shows a craving for the past - perhaps a reflection of American society?

This is just one way of looking at TP! Thoughts, suggestions?
