    They left out the funniest part of the cabin sketch. After Jim bangs his head he says 'Where the hell are we!" Somebody says "We're in a cabin in the woods." Jim asks, "Are we lumberjacks?" "No we're cab drivers." Jim then says, "We must not get a lot of business up here."

    They missed out by not including when he took the written driver's license test. Classic and hilarious.

    Taxi was good to begin with, but when they added Reverend Jim the show went thru the roof!

    I’ve told others about the segment when Jim played classical music many times over the years. It’s a treat to see that again. 👍

    Iggy is by far the best character ever

    It's such a shame that some people only know Christopher Lloyd as Doc Brown. He has such an impressive body of work that the younger among us have never seen.

    This show had a lot of hilarious episodes, but my favorite is "Jim's Dream," where he predicted Alex's death.

    All most all of us have run into a Reverend Jim(s) in our life's. And of course we failed to appreciate and enjoy the blessing at hand.
