Taxi

Today I have been formatting episodes of Taxi. This is cool for a couple of reasons. Taxi (along with Rhoda) is the first sitcom that I can remember. It had a cast filled with stars of the time, from Jeff Conaway (Kenickie from Grease) to Tony Danza, a young Christpher Lloyd and a young-ish Danny Devito. It also starred the genius Andy Kaufman, who I’m guessing was already a star as he had the “And Andy Kaufman” credit at the end, usually reserved for someone special. I remember laughing at his character as a youngster, but only today I remembered why. and it takes a lot to make me laugh when I’m alone in an edit suite with only the smell of subway for company.
