Taxi: The Unkindest Cut (1982)
Season 4, Episode 18
A Matter of Taste
11 July 2014
Ted Danson's ultra-swishy hair stylist is the main show. He plays the arrogant Vincenzo to stereotype perfection. I can see gay pride folks condemning the role as cartoonish. Nonetheless, poor Elaine gets a hair make-over from heck, while Vincenzo loftily claims her complaints result from working-class myopia. His coterie of middle-age groupies are too intimidated to not agree. So will Elaine cave-in or will she stand up to his arrogance, especially since she now looks like a red haired muskrat. The taxi gang is mostly in a supporting role, as it's really Elaine's and Danson's show. How entertaining you find the 30- minutes likely depends on how you view a controversial gay stereotype.
