Editorial Review:
Set in New York City, TAXI follows a group of cab drivers of the Sunshine Cab Company through the daily but far from ordinary routine as cabbies. The sitcom features a multitude of extroverted persons such as a frustrated actor, strained boxer, ex-hippie and cynical dispatcher.

Description of Taxi - The Complete Third Season:
From the melancholy opening notes of the theme song, Taxi promised to be a different kind of sitcom, epitomized by the show's central character, Alex Reiger (Judd Hirsch, Ordinary People): down to earth and compassionate, with neuroses that smacked of real life and not the forced zaniness of too many television shows. Alex was the conscience and emotional caretaker of a makeshift family of cab drivers working out of a grungy garage in New York City, run by the domineering Louis De Palma (Danny DeVito, who would go on to be a bigger star than the rest of the cast in movies like Get Shorty and Batman Returns). Taxi didn't always maintain a degree of realism--if you haven't seen it in a long time, you may be surprised by some of the cornier jokes and bits of slapstick--but at its best, the show managed to merge sadness and humor into rich and satisfying stories.

The third season has many standout episodes. Alex learns that his daughter is getting married but hasn't invited him to the wedding, which leads to a surprisingly sparky confrontation with his ex-wife (guest start Louise Lasser, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman). When single mom Elaine (Marilu Henner) is embarrassed by meeting a more successful high-school friend in her cab, she lies to save face and Alex steps in to back her up. Aspiring boxer Tony (Tony Danza, Who's the Boss?) can't decide how to tell Elaine that her new boyfriend made a pass at him. Tony's sister (guest star Julie Kavner, the voice of Marge on The Simpsons) falls in love with the addled but affable Jim (Christopher Lloyd, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit), much to Tony's dismay. Also crucial to the show's success was the oddball presence of Andy Kaufman, whose quirky, unspecifically-Eastern-European mechanic Latka Gravas sometimes made an awkward fit with the rest of the ensemble. But even at his most eccentric, Kaufman was always weirdly watchable, especially in his bizarre, season-closing transformation into the loungy Vic Ferrari. All in all, the third season is an excellent sampling of this sterling sitcom. Sadly, there are no commentaries or other extras. --Bret Fetzer

Taxi - The Complete Third Season Reviews:
Question to Taxi fans
2009-11-15 - Okay, what season of Taxi did Jim go to get his driver's license? That was the funniest show I have ever seen. Still laugh when I think about it, but can't remember what season it was.

Third Season is Great, Awaiting the Fourth
2009-06-28 - TAXI reached its zenith during its third year. My primary concern is that Season Four is long overdue.

Paramount: Where are seasons 4 and 5?
2008-11-14 - Dear Paramount,

how do you expect people to purchase Taxi DVDs when they can't be sure of ever completing their collections? It's going on 4 years now since seasons 1-3 have been released in 2005. What happened to seasons 4 and 5? Did you kill the project?

Taxi is a great show, I remember enjoying it as a kid and still love it today. Please, think of the fans. Don't leave us with an incomplete show!

Love Taxi and I Want More!
2008-03-18 - Come on Paramount! You just have two more seasons?! Please, give us the rest? Don't you understand that your sales are diminished some when you don't offer up the entire series? There are a lot more people out there that collect the sets (TV nuts like myself). WKRP, Taxi, and others like Cheers, and MASH, were shows that were just plain hilarious. Give us what we want! We will pay!

Taxi was the BEST comedy ever....but Season 4?????
2007-12-28 - I remember watching Taxi when it first aired in the early 90's, and throughout the years, have seen just about every episode about a dozen times. Christopher Lloyd and Danny DeVito helped to create two of the most amazing characters on television ever, so I was quite pleased to hear that Taxi would be coming to DVD, but it has been over two years since season three was released, and still no season four!!!??? The series only ran five seasons, so now we are left hanging with two seasons left to conclude the series. I mean come on Paramount, if you had planned to release the series on DVD, didn't that plan include ALL the seasons? For you Taxi fans who have yet to pick up the DVD's, the episodes are in their uncut format, not the edited versions that originally aired. When an episode was filmed, as in most shows, there are generally cuts made before the show is broadcast on television. It may be a line here, or a line there, but overall cuts are made because the producers didn't think certain lines were funny enough or for time constraints. If you are a big fan of the show, the lines are quite easy to spot. Overall, it is an impressive collection, I would have liked to see more extra material, perhaps season five will include bonus material, perhaps even the reunion episode they did.
