I used to love that show. Probably the first show I loved on tv as a small child.
'Taxi (Angela)' _ Bob James
Though it's hard to say, there was so much on back then like 'RiPTIde', 'ChIPs', 'Tj Hooker', 'SOaP', 'CheerS', 'SimOn & SImon', them's was the days.

I watched it a lot when it first aired and in reruns for years after that.

I have watched it in re-runs and quite like it ...more so the episodes before Andy Kaufman became the "breakout star" !
Even learned to like Louis for his pure evilness !
Classic literal LOL scene was the driving test ... "what does the yellow light mean ?"

I did. In fact, Marilu Henner, who played Elaine, was my first celebrity crush - so I'm told. Back when the show first aired, I was about 3 or 4 at the time. My mother told me that even if Marilu's name was mentioned, my eyes would light up like a Christmas tree! Starting a couple of years ago, CHCH-TV in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada airs retro shows between 10:00am and 6:00pm EST. The lineup varies from time to time. "Taxi" was a part of it. I think it just got back on the rotation recently. Re-watching the series - I was onto something about Marilu.  Joker's Wilde |

Marilu Henner was once a contestant on 'The Apprentice'. Cyndi Lauper, Tom Green and Andrew Dice Clay too.

Interestingly, 2 of its stars (Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd) were in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest together.  They were also the 2 funniest characters on Taxi, in my opinion. |

Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd ... two of the very best!

My childhood nickname, given to me by an uncle, was Little Louie, because he thought that I looked like Danny DeVito's character when I was a baby.

I had read that some of the patients in Cuckoo's nest were REAL patients ... I had Danny and Christopher pegged as "real"!

Not enough to remember everything. I was surprised to learn it switched networks towards the end of its run.

A lot of comedy brilliance on that show. Danny DeVito as the malignant Louie DePalma. Christopher Lloyd as the fried Reverend James Ignatowski. And Andy Kaufmann playing his "foreign guy" Latka Gravis and splitting his personality into the sleazy Vic Ferrari and even lead character Alex Reiger (Judd Hirsch). Also Tony Danza and the yummy Marilu Henner. Damned funny show

I watched it a few years ago alongside shows like M*A*S*H, Mork and Mindy, Buck Rogers, the original Battlestar Galactica, Hill Street Blues, and other shows from the same period. Enjoyed it from start to finish. I agree Danny DeVito and Christopher Lloyd were highlights of the show. And Jeff Conway--it's a shame he got himself fired.

Cool! I didn't know she was on "The Apprentice". Thank you for this! She seems to be in quite a few made-for-TV movies. Don't get me wrong - I'm not complaining or anything. She has starred in a few of them featuring my third celebrity crush (Candace Cameron-Bure). Joker's Wilde

Me too. I think the theme song makes me really calm, for some reason. |
