Taxi was one of my all time favorite comedy series of the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. My favorite role and actor was Reverend Jim! Elaine Nardo was my crush during those years. Great show!
I loved the show Taxi.. I got to meet Tony Danza on his show Who's the boss. We talked about both of us being from New York. He was extremely kind and humble.
What else can you say, you pretty much said it all. Taxi is one of my all-time favorite TV show also. And I still enjoy to this day watching the reruns of Taxi.
It was the Seinfeld of its time and made me laugh so hard at times. Ignatowski and Latka were so funny and weird in their own ways. Classic New York style comedy! And the writing was so good! Clever and witty storylines and funny one liners.
Marilu Henner had an unusual gift. She is a 1 in a 100 million person that has “Hyperthymesia”. It is basically a total recall of every experience a person has ever had. It’s far beyond photographic memory. Not only can she remember every word she reads and everything she sees, but can recall every detail of every day.
Wow I did not know that. Her (night) dreams must be absolutely crazy. There are approximately 61 people worldwide that have been identified as having it. Just did a quick search on the subject.
Yes you should watch, "Unforgettable" the tv series that stars Poppy Montgomery. It's about another beautiful redhead with the same condition thats a cop. Marilu guest stars in a few episodes too.
@mikesarealtor2 thank you for bringing this up. I saw some type of special where Marilu is being interviewed about this ability and I always insert it in conversations about her yet nobody seems to be aware of it. Just talking about it seems kind of cool but watching her give examples is like mind blowing. In this interview she was going back in time and discussing a typical day in her life in the 70s like it was yesterday. For example they would show a clip from one of the earliest episodes (which took place in the 70s) and she could recall the exact day and time that the particular scene was shown. She'd could even go a step further and recall the clothes she wore to work that day , errands that she ran after or before work , even what she had for lunch. It's really cool to watch and always thought it would be cool to have someone like that in your life that could remind you of some of your past.
Taxi,WKRP,Barney Miller,Fantasy Island,Threes Company TV was great back then. Great theme Songs and so funny. I used to have a crush on Elaine. Yeah BTW no mention of Marilu Henner, you got the Artist right but the Correct title was "Angela"
I always assumed they named the character Tony because he wouldn't remember his character name. It is hysterical that they all thought the same thing and made that his name!
Missing coverage of Marilou Henner, the luckiest actress in sitcoms at the time, working with all those talented men. Otherwise - a nice summary of a hilarious show. I discovered it in syndication and am so glad it did make it there!
Great episode! However, as a former cab driver, I can guarantee you that driving a cab is ANYTHING but 'monotonous and boring'. But, unfortunately, it's not nearly as funny as the show made it.
@@dcasper8514 One that stands out is an accident I had. We worked six 12 hour shifts per week. If you're behind the wheel for that long, you'll have accidents, no matter how careful you are. Most of them are just fender benders, but not all of them. I worked in a university town. One Saturday night/Sunday morning, I picked up two students who had been out partying. The lived at different addresses. After I'd dropped the first one off, I was driving to the second fare's address. I was on a major residential street. The speed limit was 35 mph. I was obeying the limit and being observant as I always was, when suddenly a car crossed the centre line at 80 mph (estimated by the investigating officers) and hit me head on. I don't remember the impact, but I must have jerked the wheel to the left, because he hit me slightly to the right of centre. He put the engine in the passenger seat next to me. I took out the steering wheel with my chest, the dashboard with my knee and the gearshift with my forehead. If I hadn't jerked the wheel, the engine would have ended up in my lap and I wouldn't be typing this now. I still have a scar on my forehead and a partial disability from 'dashboard knee'. We'll never know what caused it, since the other driver didn't survive. My passenger ended up with a small cut. I had six months of physical therapy and my knee still bothers me 25 years later. So definitely NOT 'monotonous and boring'!
🚕 I have taxi the complete season one and the complete season two dvd box sets. I am working on complete season three, fourth and the last season too. Love taxi it was a good show when it was on and now I'll have all the DVD box sets soon.
I enjoyed watching the show. Rev Jim is amazing when he’s only acting like a brain fried person. He went on to be a great producer and director. Louie depalma is remembered as a low life. He was so good at it. I waited for the others to step up but they didn’t. These two actors went on to bigger and better things.
Taxi was the first of four series Judd Hirsch starred in for the original Paramount Television, followed by Dear John, George & Leo, and NUMB3RS, thought the latter was only produced by Paramount in its first two seasons. ABC, NBC, and CBS aired at least one of these shows each. Come 2023, Hirsch should star in a Paramount Television Studios production on Fox, which would complete having been in a Paramount production on all four major networks. A good role for him would be an Irish-American lawyer, whose last name can be Murphy, leading the show to be called "Murphy's Law" - a reference to the adage of the same name.
Taxi to this day is one of my favorite shows, but I am still very sad about Jeff Conaway, I find myself still angry about how he died and I feel the same way about John Belushi and Chris Farley and River Phoenix . I'm angry that they did this to themselves when they were so loved and had so much to live for, I am just angry for the fact that they made us sad and we will always miss them! This could of been so avoided! I'll never understand how someone who had so much going for them could just pretty much be so careless to end their lives so soon on stupid choices! Still miss these fine actors today.
@@FactsVerse well, so many favorites it's hard to choose one, but Jim was one of my favorite characters, I liked when he gave a thousand dollars to each coworker to give away to someone in need so they could feel the joy of helping someone, I also love the class reunion one where Bobby goes as Louie... I could go on about so many faves but these two episodes are my tops!
It was the first show i loved to jump Networks that i was aware of. Imagine if HBO HAD picked it up and the creativity it could have unleashed???😮. 🤓😎✌🏼
Facts Verse. I thought I would let you know that part of your script for this video has ended up on a video from "HOW THEY CHANGED". You might want to go there to check it out.
Hi this is this is Johnny Smith Christopher Lloyd is my favorite actor on taxi and anything I've ever seen he's incredible he's a genius and he's just hilarious I really love him bye
Doing something stupid like Conaway did with drugs when they're about to shoot an episode was suicidal - it costs the producers a LOT of money, and I'd bet they knew previously that he had a drug problem and thus had warned him about it. He'd been known as a drug user since the first season, and at some point, with Conaway unable to kick the habit despite being previously treated professionally for it.
I don't understand - all those Emmys and yet it ran for only 5 years? Was it because the ratings declined so much even though it was a great show according to the critics?
such a great show with an amazing cast and performances. Am I the only one who thinks Kaufman was just an ahole, and personally probably wouldve ended up beating the s*** out of him?
In the film, "Man on the Moon," in which the surviving cast members of Taxi played themselves and recreated some of the scenes from Taxi, Christopher Lloyd never speaks. I wonder if they would of have to had paid him more if he did.
When they Did the Movie called The Man on The movie they said the soundtrack was all REM but how did The Theme From Taxi was Bob James and not from REM .. saw that’s not all REM then?!? -Retro ( Scott )
I know I'll be accused of being "woke" or something but this video couldn't be any more sexist. Marilu Henner's Elaine Nardo was as big and significant a character on that show as any of the male characters and this video just totally ignored her contribution. It's so blatantly misogynistic I don't know how they can justify it.
2...T Danza & Judd H. Shortly after having dated Travolta. She was 25, live & let live. Devito was into Rhea P from long before, Conaway had struggled with drugs even then, & Kaufman was fairly eccentric in ways.
