Taxi - Reverting to Type 1634pm 15.7.24 a very underrated show. the americans can pull it off - once in a while... it must be the stanilavsky influence. ahahah.... as for reverting to type - some dude i knew was convinced most peopel did, when push comes to shove, revert...... to type, that is. though he meant it as a downward slid einto infamy as opposed to goodly obscuirty. anyone know what their routine is which would be deemed reverting to type? in most cases the kind gentle chap constantly being harried and hassled so's they hope he becomes that nasty ne'er do well they all want him to be......well.... no matter what they do, he always reverts to type snd finds a way. schmucky schmaltz it can be deemed. and, i agree, overdone it does become a smarmy sickly sweet scenario..... the stuff of tv ad campaigns. but........................................... reverting to type isn't all nasty danny gettin' one over on folk................................................................................................ yeah, i'd certainly recommend this as a box set to watch in the comfort of your own home... dunno if i have a fav episode. the fact the arch faux-idiot, drugged up tuned in whacked out odd ball, Jim Ignatowski entered stage left kept the show alive, i feel... this show wouldn't have worked if created in the UK, but it is a wonder that the film taxi driver was doing the rounds prior to this - and does show how such scenarios as people scraping a crummy living and gettin' by, as best they can, turns into nought more than titillation and jesting.. i aint denigrating this show, it's cool. but, y'know... it's usualy the off the cuff jape or joke which morphs and snowballs into all out gritty and, at times, horrorific seriousness..............
Danny and Chris Lloyd definitely shined on this show. It’s no surprise they went on to bigger things. True talent.

God DeVito is such a fantastic actor! Can totally see why he was the Penguin! Such a twisted smile!
1of the best episode s ever seen in my opinion 👍
I love it when Louie lets loose like that
One of my favorite scenes from Taxi!
I like the scene that follows, where Alex explains to Louie that this is the best he is.
Keone Kuniyoshi Nardo in the taxi with Tom Selleck
1:28 I bet that was Danny Devito's reaction when Taxi got cancelled.
My god, those claws lol
It's even funny when you see the height difference........
