    public ActionResult Create()
    {
        var Tags = db.MyTags.Select(t=>t.TagName).ToArray();

Use @Html.Raw() and Json.Encode() as shown :-

<script>
    $(function(){
        //var sampleTags = ['c++', 'java', 'php', 'coldfusion', 'go', 'lua'];
        var sampleTags = @Html.Raw(Json.Encode(@ViewBag.ExistingTags));
</script>
