Dear Paramount,
how do you expect people to purchase Taxi DVDs when they can't be sure of ever completing their collections? It's going on 4 years now since seasons 1-3 have been released in 2005. What happened to seasons 4 and 5? Did you kill the project?
Taxi is a great show, I remember enjoying it as a kid and still love it today. Please, think of the fans. Don't leave us with an incomplete show!

After Cheers and Wings, Taxi is one of my favorites. It seems Paramount has a problem with getting people to buy a lot of the seasons, then stop releasing the remaining 2 or 3 seasons. They did the same thing with Cheers.. they released the first 8 seasons then decided not to release 9 through 11. I guess lovers of that show complained en masse so they've released season 9 and 10 is about to be shipped next month. All three of these shows have some of the same producers, writers, and directors. Taxi fans need to get on Paramount's back to get them to release the last two seasons. I hope they don't stop releasing Wings after the 7th comes out next month.

I got this first season's worth of "Taxi" for Christmas last year from my sister Michel in Maryland-- I remember talking about it a lot and asking for it as a Christmas present. I had gotten introduced to the same through renting each of the three component discs from Netflix. I watched each one of the twenty-two component episodes, and, at least in my opinion, none of them failed to impress-- all were equally stellar. That is why I remember saying to myself, 'this one's a keeper.' It made me laugh harder than "Friends," harder than "Seinfeld," harder than "Raymond." The truth is, I had seen at least one episode's worth of each of those '90's comedies, and none of them--none of them!--could stand up to the sheer enjoyment that I got out of this first ABC season's worth (1978-79) of a late-'70's comedy called "Taxi."
This first season's worth consists of three discs, each in its own slipcase, and these slipcases fit into a larger case which, on the front, has the "Paramount Television" banner atop, then the "Taxi" title and "The Complete First Season" notation, and then, between two strips of checkerboard, a group picture of most of the major players. On the back side, there is another group picture of the major players, with a "Special Features" box listing normal DVD specs (why this is like that, I do not know, as none of the "Taxi" releases have had any real special features), and below that, a description of the season and the players, with some screenshots below.
Each slipcase has the "Taxi" title and disc number on the front, and a screenshot from the season, and on the bottom front of each case are images of two of the major players. The inside of each case lists the component episodes, and the back of each case gives episode listings with descriptions and airdates, with another screenshot below. There are 8 outings on each of the first two discs, and 6 on the last, for a total of 22. The discs have the "Taxi" title and disc number above a strip of checkerboard, with "The Complete First Season" notation and some technical information on the bottom. When the discs are removed, there is another image of some of the players under each disc.
When I rented the first season's worth, and the first disc arrived, I loaded it, and after the Paramount DVD logo, I expected to see the commercials that, as I believe it had been said before, were on these releases. Refreshingly enough, there were no commercials on this first release-- it went right ahead to the anti-copy warning and the disc menu. I was glad of that, because I didn't want to have to go through commercials for other series. Unfortunately, this is not true, I believe, for either of the other "Taxi" releases (although I must admit, I haven't seen any of #3).
This first season's worth didn't have any bonuses (matter-of-factly, none of the three currently released seasons did), but I'm not complaining-- I'm just glad to have the first season's worth of a series that, in my opinion, was much, much, much better than any of the comedies of the '90's and today.

This season (1) gives the background of a wonderfully comedic sitcom! It brings back memories for those of us who were around in the 1970s and it brings history to those who were not around! Taxi was one of those fantastic shows that will forever remain a classic!
