A young witch named Samantha (Elizabeth Montogomery) meets and marries a man named Darrin Stephens (Dick York). Samantha refuses to use her powers and tries to become a typical normal suburban housewife. Her gifted family disagrees of the mixed marriage and interferes frequently in the couple's lives. Samantha and Darrin most often embrace, having to overcome the elements that failed to separate them.

There was plenty of Dramatic View Of Marriage when Samantha and Darrin go back and forth with her using her powers to fix the cons in their life, he wants to see her try and avoid having the use of magic in their relationship. Also Killjoy was seen when both Samantha and Darrin want to make it work together and Samantha's magical family disapproves of Darrin being mortal and far from normal to them. I believe the audience will enjoy this comedy because, now a days we have shows about the supernatural and fictional tales and they have great ratings. They also continue to make more seasons of the show, because they know they have many

    The concern about witches in Salem began when a group of young girls, Betty Parris, Abigail Williams, and Ann Putnam Jr., began to throw their “fits”; hiding under furniture making odd noises, contorting in pain and unnatural bodily movements.

They later named three women as those who had been hurting them; Tituba, the Parris’ slave, Sarah Good, a poor beggar, and Sarah Osborne, who had a legal altercation with the Putnam…

    Dexter, the ideal killer, the perfect psychopath. The Showtime hit T.V. series Dexter has been much more of a success then its producers could have ever hoped for. With over eight seasons and six million viewers, it has been nominated for twenty-five Primetime Emmy Awards winning four, and ten Golden Globe Awards winning two. The success of this show is a great example of how much the American culture is attracted to two types of heroes embodied in the show, the outlaw hero and the official hero. While the outlaw hero questions society, the official hero celebrates it. "The functioning American, as the heir of a history of extreme contrast and abrupt changes, bases his final ego identity on some tentative combination of dynamic polarities" (Ray 378), in this case the outlaw and the official hero. Still for a show to be so popular and on air for eight seasons it needs to contain more than just a dynamic relationship between the outlaw and the official hero. Giving people a chance to glance through a mind of a serial killer, the TV show Dexter embodies many characteristics such as the healing myth, the outlaw hero, and the official hero increasing the amount of things people can relate to. However developed the myth is it still needs its archetypes in order for the story to feel more complete.…
