What TV Series won 14 Emmy’s in just 5 seasons; Give up ?
“TAXI”

The Happy cabbies of New York’s Sunshine Cab Company were the focal point of this comedy. Cab driving may be fun, but it was just a job for this crew, most of whom were working part-time as they tried to make it in other fields. Alex, the most experienced and most conservative of the group, was the only full-time driver. Bobby was a frustrated actor, waiting for his big break; Elaine was an art gallery receptionist, trying to pick up a few extra bucks; Tony, the boxer who never won a fight, and John, the student and all-around lost soul. One of the most remembered cast member was Reverend Jim; A Space Odyssey! The first burned-out ex 1960’s hippie on television. In episode # 25 Jim takes his test for a drivers license, this episode is worth the price of the set !!! Larka was the company’s mechanic, of indeterminate nationality and fractured English, and last there was Louie the dispatcher, a pint-sized petty tyrant who more or less ran things from his steel cage in the center of the garage.

Taxi debuted on 12 September 1978, amidst a strong ABC Tuesday night line-up. It followed Three's Company, a wildly-successful example of the type of show MTM "quality" sit-coms reacted against. Taxi used this strong position to end the season ninth in the ratings and garner its first of three straight Emmys for Outstanding Comedy Series. The show's success was due to its excellent writing, Burrows's award-winning directing using his innovative four-camera technique, and its largely unknown but talented cast. Danny DeVito's Louie DePalma soon became one of the most despised men on television--possibly the most unredeemable and worthless louse of a character ever to reside on the small screen. Andy Kaufman's foreign mechanic Latka Gravas provided over-the-top comedy within an ensemble emphasizing subtle character humor. But Kaufman sometimes also brought a demonic edge to the character, an echo of his infamous appearances on Saturday Night Live as a macho wrestler of women and Mighty Mouse lip-syncher. In the second season Christopher Lloyd's Reverend Jim Ignatowski was added to the group as television's first drugged-out '60s burn-out character. But Lloyd's Emmy-winning performance created in Jim more than just a storehouse of fried brain cells; he established a deep, complex humanity that moved far beyond mere caricature. The program launched successful movie careers for DeVito and Lloyd, as well as the fairly-notable television careers of Tony Danza and Marilu Henner; Kaufman's controversial career would certainly have continued had he not died of cancer in 1984.
