Very good show that got that classic show vibe going on s1 was fire in the middle of season 2 and its fire as well. 2022-12-05 just ended season 2 and it was fire i completly forgot that they got rid of the john burns character which was a good move anyway this show is dope hope that s3 dont disappoint 2022-12-18 still good all though "the ten precent solution" episode was kinda wack and latka is getting really corny now and shouldve been dropped on after season 2 my guess he was a really popular around time and people thought he was funny so they kept him, jim is corny too hes fine as a pop up character but to have another stupid ignorant character rarely funny 2022-12-31 Season III was very good i was shocked to hear that they got dropped from abc or nbc after this as weak as i thought latka character was in this season it was worth it because of the last episode which is a classic 2023-01-13 Im so fucking disappointed man..... wtf happend this show went from being funny with a little drama in the mix to just corny cartoonish humour its like the soul of s1 s2 and a bit of s3 are gone i see flashes of it in Cooking for two and Tonys comeback but other than that 90% of this shit just aint funny with jim being the center of most them. and can somebody explain to me why in the world Nina Loves Alex was even aired just a snooze fest for real. The Vic Ferrari persona was wack to me too but yall already know how i feel about latka from before that and giving him another character arc wouldnt change it even tho impressed with andy kaufman acting ability and i see why jim carrey wanted to play him in the flick to end this essay really wack season but i see people giving in praise ?? calling it classic season maybe theres something im missing to each his own i guess 2023-01-26 i have mix feelings about this show cause the first three season was classic but when they went over to abc for the last two season the show fell of in quality, the first three episodes was giving that old classic taxi vibe back feel the same way about ep6,7 and 19 the rest is either wack or mid and simka was just useless worst than john burns which says something. my overall rating is 8/10 i still think that three season of classic material is incredible much love to the whole cast some went on to do some great things after the show Christoper lloyd went on to do back to the future and who frammed roger rabbit, Danny devito and tony danza did some great things as well andy kaufman passed a shortly after the last episode (which didnt feel like a final episode btw) if anybody from the cast is reading i just wanna let you know that you gave me alot of laughs and i appreciate it 2023-02-09
