This Emmy-winning sitcom follows the lives of a group of cabbies in New York. The employees of the Sunshine Cab Company are a motley crew, including frustrated actor Bobby, struggling boxer Tony, art gallery receptionist Elaine, and tyranical dispatcher Louie. For almost everyone, the cab company is just a temporary job that can be left behind when they make it in their chosen professions. The core of the company is disillusioned Alex (Judd Hirsch), who's sure he will be driving a cab for the rest of his life. Burned-out ex-hippie minister Reverend Jim and mechanic Latka Gravas (Andy Kaufman) round out the group.

With John Burns written off the show after season one, there was a vacancy in the garage - one filled fantastically by Lloyd's Reverend Jim. Go to Full Review Stuart Galbraith DVDTalk.com Sep 12, 2018
4.5/5
It is perhaps to Taxi's credit that its second season is little different from its first. Except for some minor tweaking, the next batch of 24 episodes... maintain the same high-caliber writing and superlative performances. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
