Hello Tomorrow! / int_11630eaa	comment	The Gambling Addict: Eddie (Azaria) clearly has a gambling problem, and evidently owes money to someone dangerous; in the first episode, he gets a finger broken by an enforcer to encourage him to pay up, and he returns from a later meeting with a painful severe limp.

Hello Tomorrow! / int_1994ba0b	comment	Gone Horribly Right: The company was only supposed to be short-lived so Jack could make money on this "moon city" scam and move on. However, his salespeople (especially Shirley), not knowing this is a fraud, go too far selling it so the company gets famous, the last thing a con artist wants. Also, Shirley and Eddie are ready to buy one of the "timeshares" themselves and move to the moon on the next flight. Jack's convincing Herb the moon colony exists and he's a top sales guy pushes Herb to help the customers escape the elevator and get on the rocket with Jack unaware they're on when he launches it.

Hello Tomorrow! / int_1f799027	comment	Obstructive Bureaucrat: The salesmen find themselves being tracked by someone who has all the traits of a classic obstructive bureaucrat — nit-picky, prissy, and rules-obsessed. However, the trope is being subverted; given the shadiness of the business in which they are engaged, anyone enforcing some basic business regulations on them is on the side of the angels.

Hello Tomorrow! / int_60194b82	comment	Spanner in the Works: In the season 1 finale, Jack has one more con set up. He gets all the customers onto the rocket, then fakes an emergency to get them on the elevator which he then stops. Thus, they'll figure a malfunction kept them from boarding the rocket which Jack launches, impressing watching investors to get more on board to build the moon town for real. Just before they launch, however, Jack and Joey get word Joey's mom awakened from her coma so rush off, leaving the launch button with Elle. Then, Lester comes by to find Myrtle and hears the people in the elevator complaining to open it up so they board the rocket. Thus, Jack has no idea the rocket is populated with folks who will expose the scam as soon as they land on the moon.

Hello Tomorrow! / int_7e74d66f	comment	Politically Correct History: The setting looks like a technologically weird version of The '50s, but the series features at least one mixed-raced couple who attract no comment — unusual on America at the time. However, rather than gratuitous political correctness, this may be a hint about the setting's oddness.

Though they seem to have a fixed base of operations, their employers can send them from town to town on whim.

However, the impact of all this is muffled by the fact that these revelations have been quite clearly foreshadowed.
