Taxi

Taxi is the ABC comedy TV show that follows a handful of New York City taxi drivers that drive for Sunshine Cab Company, working for head dispatcher Louie De Palma (Danny DeVito). Louie is immoral and abusive, and has the difficult task of holding court in the dispatch office at the garage. The drivers of Sunshine Cab Company mostly view it as a temporary job, with Elaine Nardo (Marilu) also working at an art gallery, Tony Banta (Tony Danza) boxing professionally with a losing record, and Bobby Wheeler (Jeffy Conaway) struggling as an actor. The only one who considers cab driving his profession is Alex Rieger (Judd Hirsch), the disillusioned and pessimistic driver who is also the most sensible and compassionate, often giving advice to the rest of the drivers. The crew feels bad for the burn-out hippie Reverend Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd), getting him a job with the company. The show won 18 Emmy Awards, as well as many other nominations and awards, running for 5 seasons and becoming a classic sitcom.
