McMann & Tate Agency Voted One of the Best FICTIONAL Ad Agencies - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 08-17-2009, 09:42 PM

The long-running sitcom "Bewitched" featured a hot witch mom, Samantha, and two different actors playing her husband, Darrin. Most of the plot contrivances on this show involved Darrin's job as an ad man for the McMann & Tate Agency, headed by the constantly irate Larry Tate. A typical episode had Darrin inviting Tate and a prospective client over for dinner, where Samantha -- with a twitch of her nose -- would turn the client into something (an animal, a child, an inanimate object) to help land the account. For having the balls to tell the truth about witchcraft in advertising, McMann & Tate makes the list.

They didn't even mention Connors and Davenport the agency Ann Romano worked for on "One Day at a Time".

Yes, McMann & Tate themselves had nothing to do with their success - it was because of Darrin's hard work and the magic of Samantha and sometimes her relatives.

Thing is Larry Tate probably thinks all their success is due to him.

Very cool! I think Mad Men does a great job with Sterling Cooper, but I also loved the J&J Creative Services on Full House. That was one of my favorite storylines!! Absolutely hilarious when Jessie and Joey were coming up with campaign slogans!
