Taxi: The Complete First Season [3 Discs] [DVD]

enjoyed watching it again, a really good tv show, waiting for season 2

Love this show, the characters make the show. Recommend to most ages.

Oh, You’re only part time? Sure, Everyone here is. See that guy, he’s just here until his boxing career takes off. Him? He’s gonna be an actor. Him? Going to school. Me? I’m the only one here that’s a full time Taxi driver.” “Louie, the dispatcher, You know those things under rocks that make you go yeech!, Louie makes those things go “Yeech”. And don’t forget Andy Kaufman as Latka, the immigrant new to American culture. If you can imagine late night taxi rides in new york city, and people trying to have a life while being working stiffs, this colorful cast of characters made for some funny, funny stories. This show won Emmy’s for a reason.

"TAXI" was one of the funniest shows not just of the '70s, but in American television history. With an excellent cast (yes, even Jeff Conaway) playing an eclectic gaggle of diverse characters, it's hard not to love this show. Danny DeVito stands out as the nasty-but-nice, fiendishly smarmy dispatcher, Louie DiPalma - a true comic gem. This set gives one an opportunity not only to relive these inimitable episodes, but to track the show as it develops its own world. The jazz score by Bob James, particularly "Angela" which became the theme song, is enough to evoke fond memories.
