TAxi


I tell ya, I grew up as a little kid watching Judd Hirsch on the series TAXI, and watching Numb3rs always makes me want to go back and watch those old episodes again... maybe they're on Netflix...I guess I'll have to go check.

Have you seen the episode that Christopher Lloyd (Reverend Jim) did?

Graphic from Season 4.
In this episode, it is discovered that someone has stolen, recreated and sold several copies of an extremely rare comic book. Christopher Lloyd plays the original creator of the comic book, who no longer benefits from his past creations. Having thought that his comics wouldn't be worth much in the future, he either lost or sold his entire collection and regrets it now that he and his wife live on very little. His young friend and fellow comics artist, played by Ben Feldman, publicly humiliates the rich man who owned the original before it was stolen.)

Alan (Judd Hirsch) made a Taxi reference to the character that Christopher played - Ross Moore.
Just before the episode ended, Ross made a comment about being a hippie back in the 1960s and Alan looks at him and says something like: "I can't picture that."

I laughed so hard my eyes started to water.

I've seen every episode of Numb3rs and I do remember that, it was brilliant. Christopher Lloyd and Judd Hirsch were nothing short of perfect chemistry on TAXI

It's not in my budget, but if it was I'd purchase all of Taxi on DVD. Ah, I miss sophisticated comedy. They wrote for the highest common denominator

They really did. People have no attention span these days. Very few even read books anymore. The world is becoming more like the movie Idiocracy that I care to admit.

Same here.

I've had a pain in the a$$ for the past 45 years! You got any soup for that?

I just watched Blackout on TNT (Season 3 Episode 7- second part to Longshot about the horse racing cheat scam and drug ring) and at the end, after Don informs Dad and Charlie about his breakup with Robin and they sit down to watch TV, I heard the theme from Taxi playing on their TV and I found it on Youtube.

Kupotek,
Yes, NetFlix has the series for rent. Taxi was a great series. Smart, witty, not slapstick, great comic timing from the actors.

Taxi was one of my favorite comedy shows and Reverend Jim get is license episodes was one of the funniest episodes ever shown on TV.

I sat in the audience during the taping of the show and I had a bad cough I could stop. I was afraid I would get kicked out for making noise so I covered my mouth but you can here me cough in the episode where louie gets caught stealing from the company.

The most unnecessary word is actual. You can remove it from any sentence and it wouldn't matter.
