Details needed! Have you seen these shows?

I'm still working on the definitive list of plural characters and themes in popular fiction. Research has turned up 24 different shows which have a synopsis making reference to a character having or faking 'multiple personalities'. If you've watched or do watch any of these shows, please take a look at the list and see if you can give me more information about the show and specifically its portrayal of multiplicity.

List of episodes with 'multiple personalities' in their synopsis

Brimstone, A Country Practice, Cybill, CSI, Dragon Ball, Equal Justice, Forever Knight, The Golden Girls, Halifax f.p., Hawaii Five-O, Hill Street Blues, I Love Lucy, The Jeffersons, Kids in the Hall, Lois & Clark, The Parkers, Phenom, The Pretender, The Profiler, Sailormoon S, Taxi, Tracey Ullman Takes On, VR.5, The Wizard

Thanks ^.^

Sailormoon Super is a case of possession -- at LEAST two characters in the anime and probably seven or eight in the manga are invaded by creatures from the Tau galaxy in preparation for an invasion.

I haven't gotten far enough through the manga to be sure, but in the anime Tomoe Hotaru, one of the possessees, does fight against the invader in the way of a "Hollywood multiple." That's about it, though, and it's made pretty clear that one is actually Hotaru and the other is not.

So, really, this isn't multiplicity at all, just everyday demonic possession. :P

Herman's Head is an iffy one.

In the Del Rey novelizations of Robotech, Lancer/Yellow Dancer was multiple, but it doesn't really show in the series itself -- he's just a quirky transvestite rock star.
