Just this week we have some old issues tied up thanks to notes from Barbara Schwarz. It's nice to have a resolution to questions from audio episodes and some from the notes themselves.
Some issues remain unresolved - like why did the Donahues move or threaten to move several times? We suspect it's all about Mr. Erickson, the fact that he wouldn't fix up their house, plus the fact that Mr. Donahue's career was on the upswing and they wanted to move to Oakland Avenue, which apparently was Mis' Donahue's 'dream' (my words, but taking an inference from things said in various episodes.)
But the fact of the matter is, we don't know and we may never know, thanks to Proctor and Gamble - or the war effort.
[There's a funny surprise twist about Mr. Donahue coming in an episode very soon, probably today.]
There's another big mystery or two that will be resolved in The Crazy World before the end of the year. Actually, one may be resolved in the Character website (which very, very few people bother to view despite the fact that I spend HOURS there working.) I add stuff to characters from notes so even if you have viewed a regular character before, it's likely to have changed a bit since you've seen it. There is stuff added all the time (especially since my last push which began near the end of October.) And it's my guess is that I had added some 2500-5000 words to the various characters - many things that are NOT in The Crazy World and could only be found in notes.
But hey, you don't care about it, fine.
Anyway, many of the remaining episodes have very short notes pertaining to them. I can see this as Schwarz seeing the end and wanting to finish... Maybe, maybe not.
One day, maybe after I finish the episodes, I'll write a piece about the still unresolved mysteries of the show. It would be nice if you thought of one, you could send me an email or leave a comment.
