I know it's been a long time since the first original airing of Taxi took place so many here were just kids and probably didn't watch it back then.Over the years it had it's streaks where it was syndicated and cable networks like TV Land would run it but it never was given it's fully deserved respect.
I can remember most of the episodes and almost all were good but there was the cream of the crop that were the best of episodes.
Anyone remember the Alex getting back into being a compulsive gambler episode where he was playing craps at an underground New York City casino?That was one of the funniest episodes of any tv show dealing with gambling.Alex was red hot winning everything in site at first and then hit a cold spell and called Jim to bring him more money.Jim convinced Alex that he couldn't lose if he bet the field because there were so many numbers you could hit.When Alex was totally depleted of money and the will to live,Jim tried cheering him up by saying that the important thing is,that they all had a fun time.
Then there was the one where Reverend Jim accidentally burnt down Louie's condo or apartment.Louie was devastated when he found out that his Time Life series on the worlds greatest lizzards was destroyed in the fire along with his bumper pool table.The pool balls were still like red hot molton lava and being burntout,Jim had no feeling of pain in his hand so he grabbed a ball convincing Louie that his keepsakes were in salvagable condition and put it in Louie's hand scalding him.Jim was in total denial that things were as bad as they looked.As it turned out,Jim's estranged dad was a multi millionaire and wanted to make good on the damages.He told Louie to come up with a number and Louie was salivating and pondering for days what he should claim as losses.Louie didn't want to go to high because he was afraid his dad would back out so he came up with a great settlement he could live with.Jim came back and told Louie his dad would have been willing to pay many times more and Louie almost had a heart attack.
Another one that was funny was when this runaway kid showed up at the taxi company and Reverend Jim wanted to adopt him in the loosest of legal terms and home school him.The first lesson in history was all about what took place at Woodstock.Then he gave him a pop quiz on if a tree falls in the woods and there was no one there to hear it,does it still make a noise.Jim was awstruck as to why the parents would have abused the kid by making him clean his room,eat all his food and made him do his homework.
The one where Jim had to take his drivers test was another good one.To help him cheat,they were trying to get Jim's attention by pinching him from behind and he was so burnt out and lost all feeling that it was a delayed reaction where he yelled ouch 10 seconds after he was pinched.
Anyone here have any of their favorite episodes to list?
I saw Mary Lou Henner on Celebrity Apprentice and she looks pretty nasty.
