I think there are four great sitcoms: The Mary Tyler Mooore Show, Taxi, Cheers, and Seinfeld (note, many of the same writers actually worked on the first three). Seasons of a show vary a lot. Most get worse over time: Seinfeld was embarassing after Larry David left; Cheers was at its best in the first five years; Taxi really wasn’t very good in its first or last years. Oddly, MTM was excellent even in its seventh (perhaps one reason why it often ranks as the greatest sitcom of all time).

Taxi was not a consistently brilliant show. It was generally good, often very good, and on occasion superb. I can’t think of another sitcom episode as brilliant as either “Latka the Playboy” or “Mr Personalities.” For both daring and execution, they are the most intelligent - and I think funniest - episodes of TV comedy I’ve seen. (Seinfeld’s “The Contest” is easily as funny, but conceptually it’s not as original as the two Taxi eps.)
As I’ve said, the first season of Taxi was nothing special. Randall Carver wasn’t very good. And Jim hadn’t yet arrived. Season 2 showed how good the show could be: “Reverand Jim, A Space Odyssey” was one of the show’s best episodes (it was Jim’s first as a regular). “Elaine’s Secret Admirer” was touching and poignant in a way few situation comedies are. But many of the other episodes were so-so.

With Season 3 the show achieved its true height. “Tony’s Sister and Jim” is quirky and delicate, and it humanizes the nornally caricatured Jim (Tony’s Sister is played by Julie Kavner, who would later “play” Marge Simpson). “The Call of the Mild” sees most of the gang roughing it in a cabin in the mountains. It’s an unforgettable episode (partly because of a turkey called “Ernie”). “Latka’s Cookies” is on most people’s list of favourite episodes. “Zen and the Art of Cab Driving” is a clever episode which celebrates television itself. The season ends with the great episode “Latka the Playboy.”
If you buy only one season of Taxi, it has to be this one. It was the kind of literate show that you just don’t see today (the only one that comes close in intelligence is Curb Your Enthusiasm, but that’s a different kind of show, exploring the nature of comedy, and involving improv, etc.). It’s worth pointing out that many of the best episodes of the show were written by Glen and Les Charles, and keep an eye out for their eps in earlier and later seasons. (Some of their best work was done for Cheers - the pilot being a prime example). Celebrate the art of TV and get this DVD.
“Taxi” still has a great many more fabulous episodes. Episodes like Ladka’s and Simka’s wedding, divorce, re-marrying, etc etc. and other great episodes that are essential prime time television entertainment.
Shows like “Taxi”, “M*A*S*H”, and “WKRP in Cincinnati” were when television was at it’s funniest, while it still remained innocent enough for the whole family to sit down and watch together. Today’s television is way too adult oriented and offensive for the whole family to enjoy together. These shows represented television during it’s finest hour. So, now, if only I could get the last two seasons of “Taxi”. However, forget “WKRP in Cincinnati”. They changed all the original music on the the first season DVD release, plus the picture quality really sucks.
UPDATE:
Hey! Guess What? Volumes four and five of “Taxi” will be released in 2009 from CBS.
I felt stuck. I’m a completist so I really hate being stuck with an incomplete concept like, for instance, the entire 5 seasons of “Taxi”.
I was beginning to become afraid to start buying any TV shows on DVD for fear that they may decide not to finish what they started.
Well, thank God we will finally get to own all five seasons of “Taxi”. I was wondering what CBS was waiting for.
