Taxi (TV Series) Mr. Personalities (1981) User Reviews

We had the wood, we had the chair...

I'm surprised there were no reviews of this episode.

It's one of my favorites.

The fun starts once the psychiatrist asks Latka to see Alex and suddenly the multi-personality Latka switches into Alex and does amazing work. Alex starts getting upset as he realizes that Latka is living his life better than he is.

The climax of the episode gets me every time as Latka brutally pours out alex's heart and starts to lead into some epiphany to turn it all around and Alex can't wait for it.

One of Taxi's best.

The premise. The Acting. The pure rediculousness of this episode was wonderful. I have to hand it to Andy Kaufman. His acting really shined in this episode, making "Mr. Personalities" one of Taxi's finest. R. I. P. Andy. Another funny moment was, when Alex takes Ladka to see the psychiatrist for the first time, and that woman talking about how happy she was to quit smoking, with a cigarette in her mouth, then no more promiscuity and giving out her phone number, when it's listed anyway, was also hilarious. But it's how Andy nails Alex that is the icing on the cake. The writers out did themselves this time.
