    If you like cheesy tv sit coms... you will love this! because its really not that cheesy. Its well casted, hilarious, and even heart warming. I used to watch shows like, saved by the bell, Full house and even All that. Haha but nothing compared to the realness and well developed characters that Taxi has.

    Robert De Niro wouldn't recognize this bunch, but the writing, by four veterans of the Mary Tyler Moore shop, is as finely tuned as Judd Hirsch's performance as the only driver who likes his job. [11 Sep 1978, p.58]

    As a situation, Taxi is no better or worse than any other situation comedy on television. But the series has two distinctive assets. The scripts tend to be better than average. And the cast, headed by Judd Hirsch as the somewhat sour, deadpan AleX, happens to have coalesced rather rapidly into a first‐rate repertory company.

    There is a concerted effort at character development, something rare for TV comedy. Much of the humor springs from human pain. [11 Sep 1978, p.18]
