Has anyone else noticed the similarities between Mad Men and Bewitched? Let me lay them out for you.
Donald Draper & Darrin Stephens: Both work in a big name add agency. Both have dark hair, and are handsome. Both are sensitive and loving, but have some anger issues.
Roger Sterling & Larry Tate: Both are partners in an advertising agency. Both have silver hair. Both like to drink and like women. I am guessing if Bewitched wasn't so PG of a show Larry Tate would have had an affair or two.
Betty Draper & Samantha Stephens: Beautiful, young, blonde housewives.
Sally Draper & Tabitha Stephens: Oldest child, girl, blonde hair.
Bobby Draper & Adam Stephens: Youngest child, boy, brown hair.
I was just watching Bewitched the other night, and made the connection between Larry & Darrin and Donald & Roger and then I realized the rest, and wanted to share with you all!

i love them both!
That is so funny! I just was watching Bewitched on Hulu and thought that Larry Stevens and Roger Sterling were so alike... then I found this blog.
I thought I was the first to notice. Very good post, I like it!
I JUST got turned on to MAD MEN this past week, watching the entire first season On Demand. I immediately made the connection to BEWITCHED as it is one of my all-time favorite shows. While many people discuss the physical similarities between characters on the show, the whole premise of each show is that an ad man is hiding a secret. While Darrin is hiding his wife's witchcraft, Don is hiding secrets of his past and more. Of course both shows have lots of drinking with BEWITCHED featuring a laugh-track behind it when someone passes-out.
I would love to hear how much (not "if") BEWITCHED was copied for MAD MEN. I think of MAD MEN as the "Serina" of the two: Look alike twins, one considered "good" and the other very very "dark."
I would die if MAD MEN made mention of "Hercules Tractors" "Super Soapy Soap" or "Franklin Electronics."
I this whole subject deserves a Facebook page of its own..... hmmmmmmm
Okay......... I did it. I created a FB group titled "Mad Men and Bewitched: Identical Cousins?"
Thanks!
