    • Quotes

      [during a written driving test]

      "Reverend Jim" Ignatowski: Pssssttt... what does the yellow light mean?

      Bobby Wheeler: "Slow down."

      "Reverend Jim" Ignatowski: Whaaaat... dooooeeees... theeeee... yeeeel-looowwww... liiiiight... meeeeaaan?

    • Crazy credits
      Though no single character was the main star, Judd Hirsch received a pre title credit. He only took the role of Reiger under this condition.
    • Alternate versions
      A few episodes' soundtracks used copyrighted songs by artists not affiliated with the show, which had to be removed from the DVD release.

    A sheer contribution to mankind
    It doesn't happen very often, but from time to time in history the human race has managed to create something so supreme, so perfect and so outstanding that not even does it become a wonder, but it also lifts the entire creativity in man to a higher level and sets a new standard according to what people are able to create and how they evolve. The show Taxi is the result of one of those man made manifestations.

    Its real, its genius and its surprising. Its the art of acting, humor and intelligence come together. It captures centuries of human knowledge and wisdom. So marvelous put together, that not only will it be the best creation of its time, but its also an ideal for all times.

    Many shows since are a reflection of TAXI, with many ideas, taken more or less directly from the show, and have become famous on that base. But they will never ever reach the hight of the original: TAXI Which once and for all proofs what a unique and unbeatable masterpiece TAXI is. A true wonder. Now, then and forever.
