In Which Don Draper is Actually Darrin Stevens
In Which Don Draper is Actually Darrin Stevens
One thing that's always bothered me about Bewitched is how pretty Samantha is compared to how weird looking Darrin is. And it's not like he has a good personality either. What makes Darrin unique and special enough to lead Samantha to give up her lifestyle as a witch to become the wife of Darrin Stevens? It just doesn't make sense to me. So with that in my mind quite often I almost immediately saw the similarities in Darrin and Don Draper of Mad Men. Don Draper is a better version of Darrin Stevens. They're both advertising men, working in Manhattan and living in suburbs - except Don Draper actually has talent and interesting, creative ideas for campaigns. And he's attractive enough that it's more believable that Samantha would give up being who she is. Which is why I like to pretend that Don and Betty are actually Darrin and Samantha.
Don Draper = Darrin Stevens
Betty Draper = Samantha Stevens
Not to mention that Roger Sterling (Mad Men) is totally Larry Tate (Bewitched).
