A delightful comedy that got out just in time.

Taxi was and still is a gem of a sitcom. Very clever in every department and has held up very well through time. Judd Hirsh is fantastic as the shows anchor, "Alex", which everyone else clings to. Danny DeVito is a laugh riot as the scheming evil little imp "Louie". Christopher Lloyd and Andy Kaufman brought the extremely original characters of "Reverend Jim" and "Latka" to life. Even Tony Danza does his best, and only real, acting as the would be prize fighter "Tony".I have far too many episodes that I loved. I wish I could list them all but I will site what I consider to be the best episode ever. "Memories of Cab 804", the two part episode where the most beloved cab in the garage has been in a wreck and the cabbies all reminisce and tell their experiences in the cab. My favorite scene is when Elaine drives a guy to his home and the man offers her to spend the night with him. She declines and the guy offers her a 100.00 tip. She's not sure to take it when out of nowhere "Louie", who has been listening on the CB, interjects and says "Your better off with the 100". LOL!!! I crack up every time I see that scene!. Some people were angered by how the show was unceremoniously canceled. Even Judd Hirsh ranted, at the emmy awards that year, how they should put it back on. I however disagree. You see, most shows never get out when they should. They tend to linger on and on and loose there once great quality. "Taxi" was spared that. They did five great seasons and will always be remembered for never loosing any magic.

score 9/10
