Who else would buy TAXI on DVD? (1 Viewer)

[Rob P S]

One of my five favorite sitcoms, and better than Cheers, IMO. Only five seasons, so it never jumped the shark - it went out with dignity. Lots of memorable episodes and quotable lines. Who else is with me? Come on, Paramount!

Jim: Hey, Alex--You know the really great thing about television? If something important happens, anywhere in the world, night or day... you can always change the channel.

Bobby: Mental illness or narcotic addiction?
Jim: Now that's a tough choice...

Louie: Whenever I hear the word "marriage," I say, "Check, please!"

Alex: Jim, when are you finally going to have some pride and stand up for yourself?
Jim: August!

Zena: You got an attitude problem, you got a personality problem, you got a sensitivity problem, you got an emotional problem, you got a maturity problem, you got a sexual problem . . .
Louie: What do you mean?
Zena: That's all you think about!
Louie: And that's the problem?
Zena: Yeah.
Louie: Whew!

Louie: Ignatowski! Where have you been all week?
Jim: I don't work weekends.
Louie: You been gone nine days!
Jim: Yeah . . .
Tony: Jim, weekends are only two days.
Jim: Oh, I thought we'd switched to the metric system.

Elaine: Dress is optional . . . He means how we dress, not if we dress, right?
Alex: No, I don't think so.
Elaine: Why?
Alex: [showing Elaine his invitation] Yours is the only one that says that.

Jim: I went to Woodstock.
Bobby: Oh yeah? You went to Woodstock?
Jim: Yep, half a million people gathered together in peace and harmony, grooving to Joni and The Who...hey, you know, if I hadn't gone, there would have only been 499,999 people...lucky for them I went.

Jim: I don't know what's right, I don't know what's wrong - I don't even know what's going on.

My favorite and most memorable episode was the one where they have the DMV test.

" What does a yellow light mean? "

"Slow down"

" Whaaaat does a yellooooow light meeaaan?"

Jim is the man

Me too.

 

[Jaime_Weinman]

I definitely would buy it.

I think some of Paramount's reluctance to release Taxi may stem from the fact that this is a show that has a mild case of the "Season 1 Curse" -- that is, a first season that's not quite representative of the rest of the series. The first season was great and Emmy-winning, but it was missing one of the most popular characters from the subsequent seasons (Reverend Jim, who only appeared in one episode as a guest character, and was so popular that he became a regular in season 2) and featured a regular character who was dropped in season 2 (that guy -- Randall Carver). But the first season contains so many excellent episodes -- like the pilot, "Mama Gravas" and "Latka's Wedding" (with Reverend Jim) to name only a few -- that I think it could sell.

I usually don't waste my money on TV on DVD. I only have Babylon 5 so far. That said, I'd be there in a minute.

 

[streeter]

I'd buy it in a heartbeat - each season.

 

[Greg_P]

Great show !! I'd buy every season as well.
