Darrin Stephens, Michael Stedman, Brian Kinney and Mike Baxter.  What do these four fictional TV characters have in common? Bonus points if you can name the shows they were a part of.

I have always been enamored with advertising, especially print. And mostly lifestyle and fashion.  It is one of my dirty little secrets. For me it is the visual storytelling; not so much the emotional manipulation and gross augmentation of consumerism. 

The common theme is advertising. The shows: Bewitched, Thirty Something, Queer As Folk, and Last Man Standing.
