This Emmy-winning sitcom follows the lives of a group of cabbies in New York. The employees of the Sunshine Cab Company are a motley crew, including frustrated actor Bobby, struggling boxer Tony, art gallery receptionist Elaine, and tyranical dispatcher Louie. For almost everyone, the cab company is just a temporary job that can be left behind when they make it in their chosen professions. The core of the company is disillusioned Alex (Judd Hirsch), who's sure he will be driving a cab for the rest of his life. Burned-out ex-hippie minister Reverend Jim and mechanic Latka Gravas (Andy Kaufman) round out the group.

Steve Uhler Austin Chronicle Taxi: The Complete Third Season showcases one of the show's best campaigns, including the Emmy-winning episode "Elaine's Strange Triangle," in which Alex finds unexpected liberation by dancing in a gay bar. Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Les Chappell AV Club As much as Taxi loved its characters, it was never afraid to be brutally honest with them. The most devastating of these revelations came to Tony in the third season, when he learns that his boxing career could literally kill him. Sep 4, 2018 Full Review Peter Canavese Groucho Reviews Taxi sometimes resembled a weekly Neil Simon play, with maudlin or sentimental character comedy goosed by punchlines, but James Brooks' celebrated brilliance with emotional storylines also justified experiments in the absurd and satirical. Rated: 3.5/4 Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Stuart Galbraith DVDTalk.com Can boast some of the show's most memorable episodes, with scripts and performances both hilarious and full of honest humanity. Rated: 4/5 Sep 12, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews
