Profile of Taxi
The mood of Taxi is witty, humorous, and clever. The plot centers around city life, workplace situations, and an obnoxious boss. It features irreverent humor. Taxi is a comedy TV show. Stylistically, it is a sitcom, stars an ensemble cast, and is talky. In approach, it is not serious and realistic. Taxi takes place, at least partly, in an urban environment. The setting is New York. It happens in the 1980s. Taxi is known for being a hit series, a Golden Globe winner, and a classic.
Summary of Taxi
Taxi debuted in 1978 and quickly worked its way into the pantheon of sitcom classics with the help of one of the finest ensemble casts in television history. Set within the confines of a dingy parking garage, the series chronicled the ups and downs of an assortment of endearingly eccentric New York City cabbies--veteran driver Alex (Judd Hirsch), single mother Elaine (Marilu Henner), aspiring actor Bobby (Jeff Conway), struggling boxer Tony (Tony Danza), spaced-out minister Reverend Jim (Christopher Lloyd), and, most indelibly, immigrant mechanic Latka (the brilliant Andy Kaufman)--all lorded over by the acid-tongued barbs of diminutive taxi dispatcher Louie De Palma (Danny DeVito).
