    WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
    HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
    InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
    Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...
    ShelbyTMItchell This show is one of the original ensembles. As it shows that the gang with their different personalities work together as a team. It shows jerk with a heart of gold boss Louie, boxer Tony, straight man Alex, Elaine the only woman working there, struggling actor Bobby, and of course, lovable Latka the mechanic.The show is one of the first shows that relied entirely on as an ensemble. And the actors that made it a hit. It introduced us to Tony Danza, Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Danny DeVito, and of course, the late great, Andy Kaufman!A show that has never really aged! And really great writing and directing!
    Greatornot They were all dreamers . Hoping for something better but ending up in Sunshine Cab Company. This show is perhaps the funniest show from its time frame. Great comedy all around. Devito was Top Notch and his hand gestures,acrobatics and facial expressions were not to be missed. Made of stone, Louis DePalma, the dispatcher truly had a heart of gold, seen on very rare occasions. You had Andy Kaufman as the mechanic , simply awesome making up his own language from a fictional nation, Another true artist in the field. Tony Danza, Jeff Conaway would be boxer and would be actor respectably. Elaine the sexiest mom around, raising a pre teen son, just stringing cab job and museum job to make ends meet. Christopher Lloyd another true classic , the reformed or maybe not so much drug abuser, was simply another artist with just wonderful expressions,lingo and overall comedic appearance. The first cast member of any sitcom , that I recall as a drug user . Of course the glue of this cast , Mr. Judd Hirsch'Alex Rieger', the wannabe cab psychologist with baggage in his own life. This was just a wonderful sitcom that provided nonstop laughter. Throw in some excellent guest stars from the 5 year run and this show is in the big leagues with more prominent sitcoms in American History. It deserves its due . Hopefully in the era of dvds and webstreaming , this show will get its kudos.
    bruce-devlin Please help push Paramount into releasing Seasons 4 & 5 of "Taxi" by sending an e-mail to the following address: PHE_CustomerService@Paramount.com Taxi is my favorite sitcom of all time and I am dying for the release of the final 2 seasons that contain some of the best episodes! For those of you Taxi fans, take a peek at the list of the episodes included in the final 2 seasons. Among the gems are Ellegant Iggy, the Schloogle, Louie and the Blind Girl, Jim the Psychic, Take My Ex-Wife Please, The Unkindest Cut. The list goes on and on. Check out the titles at www.tviv.org. The best part about the Taxi series was the writers' ability to have you laugh and cry within the span of a few minutes. The characters were extremely well developed, particularly in the case of Alex and Louie. The addition of Reverend Jim proved to be a brilliant addition to the ensemble. As much as John was a part of a few good episodes, his character was less interesting than the others.
    Syl They don't make comedies like Taxi anymore. A couple of years ago, a local television station aired a two hours worth of shows like Taxi, Welcome Back Kotter, The Jeffersons, and the Odd Couple on Saturday nights. For those of us who didn't have plans, I stayed in to watch shows that I never got to watch like on prime time because I was too young. Anyway, it ended in less than a year after it started. Sadly, those four shows were superior to our contemporary sitcoms like Will and Grace and Friends. These shows were all set in New York City and they didn't have the attractive group that today's producers need to look at when you want an audience to laugh. Sorry folks at Friends and Will and Grace, the truth is that these four shows were multi-cultural thirty years before Friends and Will and Grace. No, they weren't always attractive to the audience but who casts somebody because of their looks. It's about talent and comic genius. Taxi had a great theme music which I'm listening to right now. It also had an excellent cast of characters played by great talents like Oscar nominee Judd Hirsch, Danny DeVito, Marilu Henner, Jeff Conway, Tony Danza, Andrew Kaufman (we miss you the most) and Christopher Lloyd. Rhea Perlman also appeared and so many wonderful others. What separates this show from today's ideals about live in New York City is the gritty and struggling of the characters trying to make ends meet. IT still goes on today in the New York City area. You know I find this show believable now more than I ever did.
