- In today's entertainment industry where television shows are premiered and cancelled at a breakneck pace, it's hard to imagine a time when a TV show had a chance to actually grow on an audience. Such was the case with the now-iconic sitcom Taxi, an 18-time Emmy award winning series that focused on the workaday world of a handful of New York City taxi cab drivers, as well as their humorously ruthless dispatcher. Created by Hollywood heavyweight James L. Brooks (producer of The Mary Tyler Moore Show), Taxi chronicled the daily lives of the employees of the Sunshine Cab Company, a fictional taxi service in Manhattan. The series aired from 1978 to 1983 on ABC (and later NBC), garnering scores of awards while it was on the air, and developing an almost cult-like following that persists to this day.

Great Scene : watch closely she almost bursts out laughing before he even speaks. 🤣 this is where his elvis voice was developed for his famous impersonation. R.I.P. AK

My favorite show next to the Golden girls

That was James L. Brooks, the Co-creator Producer 🚕
If I had my life to live over I would change my name to Vic Ferrari.
I'd be Tony Clifton
Jim: Poor Latka. Everybody’s beating his time with his woman. First Bobby, and now this jerk.
Anybody know who the girl is?
My buddies and I said "walk with me, talk with me" for years after this.
Her name was Robin Klein - she died a few years later of breast cancer - very sad.
Thank you for the info. And yes, very sad indeed.@@athers5386
GAME!
Funny guy
There was a colour one recently, don't where that's gone
The Big difference between Andy Kaufman doing Vic Ferrari and Howard Hesseman doing Rip Tide was that Andy actually WAS a little bit D.I.D., whereas Hesseman was just acting....
What is D.I.D.?
"hey she's not a prize she's a woman!" - Andy Kaufman on feminism, uncoloured.
This show was not in 1950 where is the color 🤦🤦🤦
I love this show. And Andy Kauffman was amazing. Although it kind of seems like this episode was sort of inspired by or was ripping off another similarly themed WKRP In Cincinnati episode where Johnny Fever, the DJ, morphs into a similarly sleazy and cheesy alter ego, Rip Tide. The plot is similar; they develop the alter ego for survival reasons; and for awhile it's working well for them; and the alter ego spins out of control; and all his coworkers start hating on him; until he finally has a big breakdown or crisis and switches back to his original meek persona. Since Dr. Fever and Mr. Tide aired on Feb 7 1981 and Latka The Playboy aired May 21 1981, I think we can assume the Taxi episode copied the WKRP episode.
The co-developed the idea must've been in the zeitgeist
Why is this in black and white??
Because it's a bleak moment everytime a dead person makes you laugh
Copyright maybe?
This must have really confused Jim.
I think Vic Ferrari was Andy being Tony Clifton without the suit and frilly shirt, but every bit as obnoxious.
Could be. But they didn't like his Tony Clifton. That's why they fired his alter ego from that episode.
He's pretty charming in this scene

Friends? Not even in the same ballpark.
