Season 1 Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Lee Winfrey
Taxi is a joy ride. Among the new television series premiering this month, it should accelerate quickly to a spot near the front. If you like to laugh, catch it.
Miami Herald
Jack Anderson
The concept is good enough. There could be a lot of laughs in the daily lives of cab drivers and tales to be spun out of their reasons for hacking. But Brooks and company have let their concept sputter away into a shapeless gagbag.
Orlando Sentinel
Noel Holston
It's Hirsch, however, that really makes Taxi go, for he's equally effective cracking wise, playing the straight man, or bringing poignance to serious scenes. Taxi is, in the parlance of TV, his vehicle.
Associated Press
Jay Sharbutt
Kind of a slim plot, yes, but the dialogue, acting, and direction give it all the sparkle, comic precision and timing that made the Mary Tyler Moore Show of yesteryear such fun to watch.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Jerry Coffey
Somehow, the first half-hour didn't click comedically as well as it might have and one wonders if the cluster of characters here will ever work well enough to make Taxi an outstanding show instead of just a pretty good one.
News & Observer (Raleigh, NC)
Bill Morrison
The series is not yet the human comedy viewers have been promised, but it's a refreshing change from bubble-gum humor. The scripts tend to avoid the cheap laugh; the dialogue has a certain luster.
Newsday
Marvin Kitman
What an inspiration it was to make Andy Kaufman a regular on a sitcom. It's something to look forward to every Tuesday night at 9:30.
Chicago Tribune
Gary Deeb
It's a touching portrait of a tiny slice of life's underside. And putting that sort of a program on the air in 1978 is one great accomplishment.
Detroit Free Press
Chris Stoehr
Taxi is a wow of a comedy, sizzling with new sight gags, and, as we've come to expect from the Mary Tyler Moore creators, moments of tension broken by a benign wisecrack. The style is so warm it's just this side of gooey, while the yuks keep coming.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Will Jones
If there's a lot wrong with the new ABC series, Taxi, there's also something weirdly right with it.
Kansas City Star
Steve Nicely
With a team of creators carrying credentials earned in the Mary Tyler Moore Show, how could the series miss? The only possible conclusion is that it will eventually succeed despite the handicap of a bad start.
The Hollywood Reporter
Richard Hack
A show like Taxi is so rare. Not only does it have magic, it is completely under control, making one believe that week after week, we will continue to be treated to ensemble comedy performances at their near best.
Washington Post
Tom Shales
"Why is everyone here just a little angry?" asks the newly arrived woman cab driver. It's a good question for a perplexing yet enormously promising new series -- Taxi, a comedy of malaise for an age of the blahs.
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Win Fanning
It's a remarkably talented group. The writing, by the creator-producers James L. Brooks, Stan Daniels, David Davis and Ed Weinberger, is on the same high level achieved by the four when they were working in the Mary Tyler Moore stable.
Boston Globe
William A. Henry
Like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, this something-for-everyone comedy touches the nerves of character without forsaking the pratfall.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Anchored by two of the most fully realized characters in television history: Marilu Henner's brassy, sensuous, privately insecure single mother, and Judd Hirsch's wry, compassionate working-class intellectual.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Richard Zoglin
You can't have it both ways: If you're going to opt for farcical, anything-goes comedy, do a fantasy; don't ask us to believe in the characters, too.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
John Archibald
If those in charge of Taxi give Hirsch reasonably good material, use Kaufman wisely, and ask the others to slice the ham thin, the show could add to ABC's already strong position in the ratings race.
San Francisco Examiner
Bill Mandel
Taxi is a first-rate Barney Miller-type character comedy with an excellent cast.
Hartford Courant
Owen McNally
With some of [Mary Tyler Moore]'s old writing staff revved up and with this cast to work with, Taxi could go far.
