Premise and themes

Much of the show focused on the main characters wanting to achieve something more than driving a taxi. Nearly all the cabbies do not identify themselves as drivers; they have other jobs despite being unable to make a living from them. Elaine is a receptionist at an art gallery, Tony is a boxer with a losing record, and Bobby is a struggling actor. John Burns, who was written out of the show after the first season, is working his way through college. The rest of the drivers get "Reverend Jim" Ignatowski, an aging hippie minister burnt out from drugs, a job as a cabbie out of pity. Many episodes involved one of the characters getting an opportunity to realize his or her dream and move up in the world, only to see it yanked away. Only Alex, older and disillusioned with life, considers himself a cab driver (see Quotes).

Despite the zany humor regularly featured on the show, there was an undercurrent of despair and sadness to Taxi. The show often tackled such dramatic issues as drug addiction, single parenthood, blindness, bisexuality, teenage runaways, failed marriages, sexual harassment, PMS, and the loss of a loved one. Drug addiction, or dependency is the compulsive use of drugs, to the point where the user has no effective choice but to continue use. ... It has been suggested that Baby mama be merged into this article or section. ... Blindness is the condition of lacking visual perception due to physiological or psychological factors. ...

Characters

The cast: (back row, left to right) Danza, Kaufman, Kane; (front) Lloyd, Henner, Hirsch, DeVito

• Alex Reiger (Judd Hirsch) - Alex is the sensible, compassionate core of the show, the one everyone else turns to for advice. At one point, he reveals his frustration with this unwanted burden. He once worked in an office, with a good chance of advancement, but lost his job due to his refusal to follow the company line. He was married to Phyllis Bornstein (Louise Lasser). When his wife divorced him because of his lack of ambition, she sought sole custody of their baby daughter, Cathy; he gave in rather than fight. He is also estranged from his philandering father, Joe (Jack Gilford). Alex is a recovered compulsive gambler, although he relapses in one episode. A pessimist, he has resigned himself to driving a cab for the rest of his life.

• Louie De Palma (Danny DeVito) - The dispatcher for the Sunshine Cab Company is the boss from Hell. He not only has no morals to speak of, he positively revels in his misdeeds. Nothing is beneath him, from taking advantage of a drunken friend of his sometime-girlfriend Zena Sherman (played by real-life wife Rhea Perlman) to gambling with a young boy to stealing from the company. He lives with his mother (DeVito's real mother, Julia, in two episodes). Under the amoral exterior beats a heart of pure lead.

• Elaine O'Connor-Nardo (Marilu Henner) - Elaine is a beautiful divorced mother of two struggling to cope, while trying to realize her ambitions in the field of fine art. The object of lust of Louie, she is attracted to characters played by actors ranging from Tom Selleck to Wallace Shawn.

• Tony Banta (Tony Danza) - The sweet-natured, if somewhat dimwitted boxer has little success in pugilism. In fact, Louie makes a lot of money betting against him. Finally, the boxing commission takes away his license because he has been knocked out one too many times.

• Bobby Wheeler (Jeff Conaway) (1978-1982) - Bobby is a shallow, conceited actor whose pretensions are Louie's favorite target. Success eludes Bobby. Once, he is signed up by a famous manager, but it turns out she doesn't want to represent him; she only wants him as a lover. Another time, he is cast in a pilot for a soap opera called Boise. The show goes into production, but his part is recast.

• Reverend Jim Ignatowski (né Caldwell) (Christopher Lloyd) - A burned-out relic of the '60s, Jim lives in a world of his own. He was once a hard-working, serious student at Harvard University, with an extremely wealthy father (Victor Buono), but one bite of a drug-laden brownie was enough to get him hooked and send him into a downward spiral. The cabbies take pity on him and help him pass a written exam to become one of them, in a particularly memorable episode (see Quotes). He occasionally exhibits unexpected talents, such as the ability to play the piano masterfully.

• Latka Gravas (Andy Kaufman) - Latka is an immigrant from a very strange land, often speaking in his invented foreign tongue ("ibi da", "nik nik"). He works as a mechanic, fixing the taxis. Latka was an adaptation of the "Foreign Man" character Kaufman originated in his stand-up comedy act. He grew tired of the gag, so the writers gave Latka multiple personality disorder, allowing Kaufman to play other types of characters. This usually manifests itself as a repellent, smooth-talking lounge-lizard persona calling himself Vic Ferrari. In one episode however, he becomes Alex, with profound insights into "his" life. Just when he is about to reveal to the real Alex the perfect solution for all his problems, he reverts back to Latka.

• Simka Dahblitz-Gravas (Carol Kane) (1980-1983) - She is from the same country as Latka. They belong to different ethnic groups which traditionally detest each other, but they fall in love and eventually get married. She is much more assertive than her husband, often standing up to Louie for him.

• John Burns (Randall Carver) (1978-1979) - The naive young man works as a cabbie to pay for college. According to Carver, "...the characters of John Burns and Tony Banta were too similar...Some of the lines were almost interchangeable..."^[2], so he was dropped after the first season without explanation.

Ratings

The show was acclaimed by critics, but it was never a major ratings success. It performed respectably during its first two seasons, even placing in the Top Ten in its first season behind the ABC powerhouse line-up of Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, and Three's Company, but numbers plummeted when it was moved from that secure time-slot into more competitive positions. The show was cancelled in 1982 by ABC. The show was then picked up for its fifth and final season by NBC, being paired at first on Thursday night with Cheers.

Director James Burrows instructed Conaway and Lloyd to continue repeating their lines until he called cut. The gag wound up being performed at least a half-dozen times in the studio until the audience laughter finally died down.

Opening sequence

The opening titles show a cab driving across the Queensboro Bridge. The footage was originally intended to be a "bridge" between scenes and is only about fifteen seconds long. Parts of it are subtly repeated a couple of times to accommodate the entire credits. Tony Danza drove the cab in the sequence. He was already in New York in order to shoot a scene that would air in the first season finale. It ended up being the only scene in the whole series actually filmed in New York. The Queensboro Bridge, also known as the 59th Street Bridge, is a cantilever bridge over the East River in New York City. ...

Cast reunions

Danny DeVito hosted an episode of Saturday Night Live soon after Taxi was canceled after the fourth season. A filmed bit had him driving around New York looking morose until inspiration strikes and he blows up the ABC building. In addition, the Taxi cast members were given an opportunity for closure, which up to that point had been denied them due to the abrupt cancellation. The actors took their "final" bows during DeVito's opening monologue, only to have NBC pick up the show. Saturday Night Live (SNL) is a weekly late night 90-minute American comedy-variety show based in New York City which has been broadcast by NBC on Saturday nights since October 11, 1975. ... In psychology, closure may refer to the state of experiencing an emotional conclusion to a difficult life event, such as the breakdown of a close interpersonal relationship or the death of loved one. ...

Decades later, most of the cast returned to play their younger selves and briefly re-enact scenes for the Kaufman biopic, Man on the Moon. Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Jeff Conaway, Carol Kane, Randall Carver and Christopher Lloyd all reprised their roles. The only two who didn't were Danny DeVito, who produced and co-starred in the film as Kaufman's manager, George Shapiro, and Tony Danza, who declined to participate. A biographical film or biopic is a film about a particular person or group of people, based on events that actually happened. ...
