I met Rhea Perlman in the airport in Orlando. I snuck up behind her and called out, "Zina Sherman!". She turned around looked at me and said, "Boy, I haven't heard that name in a long time!". She gave me a kiss on the cheek, pre-covid. She was very sweet.
I'm here, because I borrowed the entire season from the library. I have two daughters one 10, the other 13. And they love it. That just goes to show you that the writing is brilliant. My kids actually laugh out loud. I used to watch it what 30 years ago. And it's nice to enjoy it with them. We just finish The Wonder Years. They like that also. I'm a very lucky dad
terrific. I try not to "powerwatch" anything....I was born in 1963....recently re-watch the Mary Tyler Moore Show....partly since after MTM died IN January 2017, I saw a few clips from Entertainment Tonight and an hourlong ABC 20/20 which made me feel that, at a minimum, I should re-visit it....and perhaps repost some of my findings/opinions of it on FACEBOOK....or through email to select friends of mine. TAXI is definitely a favorite....but, as I recall, some of the more involved Andy Kaufman/Latka and Reverend Jim/Christopher Lloyd episodes seemed a bit draggy and involved. For your daughters....perhaps now or in another year or two, I strongly recommend the Mary Tyler Moore Show...and for comparison, perhaps episodes of the Dick Van Dyke Show. I can't think of a stronger role model...and her friendship's with both female and male co-workers, along with Rhoda and Phyllis....priceless. ALL THE BEST.
I let my kids watch what I call the classics (from our times) show them MASH, The Twilight Zone, I love Lucy, The Odd Couple,, Littel house on the prairie, leave it to beaver, Guiligans Island, The Munsters, They love it - All classic, family shows
I was born in 78. This is my favorite show alongside the Simpsons. Taxi has something lacking from most shows, heart. Above all else this show was about laughs and humanity. I must confess Elaine was a childhood crush due to the Nick at Night re-runs. I watch the box set with my boys and they love it as much as I do.
The cast looked great but Jim was one of my favorites. It was sad to see Jeff Conaway dwindle over his addiction. It appears that he didnt have enough time to talk.
Yeah, that ticked me off and made me feel bad for the guy. He was starting to mention his upcoming movies and Al Roker just cut him off to make a joke to Danny DeVito.
I was born in the 1980s. But growing up i remember my grandmother watching this show among others. Which got me to watch and I loved it. Even at the age of 5 and up I would want to go to bed early to watch Nick at nite and they would play taxi. It was always my favorite next to welcome back kotter. What’s funny is even at that young of a age I understood the show. And I always loved that this show was always a little dirtier than the others. Shows aren’t and never will be what they used to be in the 50s/60s/70s/80s and hell even the 1990s.
I watched every episode in my teens. Took me about 10 yrs to see all. Taxi was so dam funny. I'm not a sit-com person at all. Since taxi and mash, i havent watched any for very long. TV became a comercialized frenzy that turned me off, sent me to the computer side.
You left out J. Alan Thomas Louie de Palma's gopher Jeff. He was in 70 episodes, 1 more than Jeff Connaway. Only Mary Lou, Judd, Tony, Christopher and Andy were in more episodes.
I don't know about Randall Carver, but they mention towards the end that Christopher Lloyd wanted to be there but couldn't make it due to a movie he was working on. You're right, though - it's a shame everyone couldn't be there.
@@theonewhoknocks.651 There are definitely pigs out there that are only good for sex, and cooking and laundry, etc. 😄😄I don't think Marilu Henner is one of them, though.
Piss Off On May 11th 2011 Jeff Conaway passed away. His Death was ruled as complications from pneumonia and sepis, and he went into a coma. God rest his soul.
I meant Jeff from the show! The black guy who worked behind the cage with Louis. He never shows up to any of the reunions. Never even mentioned. Also, John from the first season. Jeff Conway is in this video.
The critical flaw in Taxi is portraying a boxer as an imbecile. Talking down to boxers and laughing at knockouts are equivalent to laughing at auto accidents. Those who do are very fickle. Boxing is the noblest of sports and Tony Danza should not be proud for playing such a role. Tony Banta’s character remaining witty while being an intellectual [as many pugilists are] with a decent career would have been suffice and not further damage the sports’ public perception. But, many do not comprehend that fistiana at its apex, is an infinite science and as brainy as performing surgery and or designing a submarine.
I think you're probably taking things too seriously - it's a comedy... Having said that, you are, of course 100% right... Making boxers appear as simpletons or thugs is a cliche
Paxus My Position In Boxiana is a Doer’s role, not a talker. What I wrote is educational, not opinionated. And it is from a source that is Monumental to Boxiana in more ways than one, offering depth, clarity and purpose to the sport, pugilists and the audience. Hence, I’m not writing just to be writing.
Boxing takes training but you don't have to be book smart, nor does one actors role in a film or show representing all boxers. So he has the right to be proud of his role and there is no flaw in it. Boxers can have a variety of intellect. Billions of dollars over the years shows it made no damage to the sports public perception.

Lucy 😨 and Mrs. Petry 😷 both smoked though.
RIP Jeff Conaway. He got fired for his drug abuse and that problem was with him for the rest of his life. A great talent died at 60.
There SERIOUSLY need to have a "Taxi" reunion show!!!
So beautiful how danny is holding her hand... she seems like a delicate person
One of the best sitcoms ever! All the characters are/were great. Favorite episode is Elegant Iggy and Reverend Jim: A Space Odyssey.
Jeff never should’ve left
He got fired

Horrible that Jeff Conaway wasn't even given enough time to say what he was up too 😠Rest his eternal soul 😞

No disrespect to the man...but you can tell he's highly medicated.
It's not so much where you're at, but rather, where
you end up.
Everyone that worked with him thought he was great
I was thinking the same thing.!

The legend actor and greafest sitcom
Best show acting-wise ever!
You can tell the chemistry is genuine!!!!🧐😍😎
i miss you dad
@GENERAL DISARRAY'S BOSS 83 no shit, hes my dad
@GENERAL DISARRAY'S BOSS 83 huh?
that child spark in their eyes while talking about it says it all, 😊,,,, unlike harrow movie actors
What does a yellow light mean? 😂😂😂😂
@GENERAL DISARRAY'S BOSS 83 Whaaaat doeeeeeeeeees a yeeeeeellow liiiiiiiight mean?
Slow Down!
they were the days
It p***** me off that when talking Andy Kaufman/Latka they show a series of Jim Carrey snippets. What a shame.
AGREED!
You left out J. Alan Thomas Louie de Palma's gopher Jeff. He was in 70 episodes, 1 more than Jeff Connaway. Only Mary Lou, Judd, Tony, Christopher and Andy were in more episodes.
He was only a supporting cast member , and was only used for comedic relief .
He was great
miss you dad
Louie made the show
...Robert Picardo (Voyageur's "The Doctor") at 1:06 !!!
How about a new series!
No
Where's Jim ??
He was doing movies back in 2004.
Why wasn't Christopher Lloyd and Randall Carver not a part of this reunion? They should have, at least I think so anyway
Christopher Lloyd was shooting a movie.
Louie de Palma was Glen Beck before Glen Beck.
Marilu Henner. Not the simple/elegant gal she played on TV.
Slut but she's still hot.
Too Short
Who would have thought that a talent-less scarecrow called Al Roker could have become something that at 7 am replaced morning sickness?
Why the hell wasn't Christopher lloyd or randall Carver there?
I don't know about Randall Carver, but they mention towards the end that Christopher Lloyd wanted to be there but couldn't make it due to a movie he was working on. You're right, though - it's a shame everyone couldn't be there.
He was only in a season or two so maybe they weren’t friends.
@@DavidfromBA Thought if anything Judd Hirsch would be busy chasing alien spaceships
@@DavidfromBA and what about Lakitu Gravas, and Carole King?
Simka 🌹 Carol Kane is the BEST!! 💝
Nothing -- without "Latka"/Kaufman.
Al cut off Bobby Wheeler 😳 😔
I wonder how a reboot of Taxi would fair? Hopefully if they decided to do a Taxi reboot, maybe it could work
It would be called Uber
It would bomb. You can have an all star cast like this anymore.
She was very free with her HooHaa banging Danza, Hirsch, Travolta and God knows who else.
Carol Kane?

@@theonewhoknocks.651 Yeah, I was just kidding. MH is stunning!

Dana says it was a welcoming group, but from what I can tell - from interviews - it cliqued up pretty well against Andy Kaufman.
andy kaufman did everything he could to antagonize the people around him, by his own admission.
Where is Jeff?

I don't like Al Roker. I can't eat breakfast, if he's on.
