With its mainstream humor and oddball characters, Taxi is widely regarded as one of the best comedy series ever produced on television. The brainchild of James L. Brooks (creator behind such groundbreaking hits as The Andy Griffith Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Simpsons), Taxi retains a dedicated cult following to this day by means of its widely syndicated reruns. With a star-studding cast, the sitcom introduced most of the world to the talents of such comic superstars as Andy Kaufman, Danny DeVito, Marilou Henner, Tony Danza, and Christopher Lloyd…
The Taxi (Season 2) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Louie and the Nice Girl” in which Zena (Rhea Pearlman), a woman who refills the vending machines (and a friend of most of the cabbies), reveals to Alex and Elaine that she has a crush on Louie. When the two begin dating, Louie boats of their sexual escapades, but Zena tells the gang that nothing has happened. Confronted, Louie admits that he doesn’t know what to do with a “nice girl” like Zena, at least until he learns that Zena might not be the nice girl he once thought… Other notable episodes from Season 2 include “Wherefore Art Thou, Bobby?” in which Bobby quits his dream of becoming an actor after a young protégé lands a job on his first try, and “Jim Gets a Pet” in which Jim wins ,000 at a race track and uses the winnings to purchase the long shot horse on which he bet…

With its biting humor and eccentric characters, Taxi is widely lauded as one of the top sitcoms in television history. The brainchild of James L. Brooks, whose golden touch played a role in such hits as The Andy Griffith Show, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, and The Simpsons, Taxi continues to entertain and gather generations of new fans through syndicated reruns. With a superb cast and great writers, the show introduced the world to the comedic talents of Hollywood mainstays like Danny DeVito, Tony Danza, Marilu Henner, Christopher Lloyd, and Andy Kaufman.
Taxi follows the daily operations of the Sunshine Cab Company, a New York City taxi service run by tyrannical dispatcher Louie De Palma (Danny DeVito). De Palma’s self-centered sarcastic remarks are often dispensed from the safety of his pathetically small office in the corner of the body shop, while various employees like Alex Reiger (Judd Hirsch), Tony Banta (Danza), and Elaine Nardo (Henner) socialize and plot against their common enemy. Add foreign mechanic Latka Gravas (Kaufman) to the mix and all the ingredients are in place for hours of endless laughter. As the characters deal with problems of varying degree in their personal lives, the audience is treated to some of the best comedy ever produced for the small screen.
The Taxi (Season 3) DVD features a number of hilarious episodes including the season premiere “Louie’s Rival” in which Louie’s girlfriend Zena dumps him for a bartender at Mario’s. Danny DeVito provides another hilarious performance as the heartless Louie… Other notable episodes include “The Costume Party” in which the gang crashes a luxury yacht party in the hopes of meeting some famous people, and “Bobby and the Critic” in which Bobby happens upon one of the theater critics who recently bashed his performance.

While many Americans are familiar with the Accord Sedan, its fair to say not many could point out the Coupe if it passed them on the highway. Thats because the rakish Coupe looks nothing like its sedan counterpart, carved in sleek sheetmetal and hunkered low to the ground, the Accord Coupe could easily be mistaken for a high-priced German or Italian performance coupe. Fortunately for those smitten by the Accords good looks, its price tag is every bit as reasonable as the sedan, leaving consumers with one question, can I live without four doors?

And the Lexus IS-F is the first step in making that a reality. Welcome to our comprehensive Kelley Blue Book review of the Lexus IS-F. Think of the regular Lexus IS as the automotive equivalent of Clark Kent – mild-mannered and pleasant but a ittle light in terms of excitement. Like Kents alter ego Superman, the IS is transformed into superhero IS-F by way of a flashier outfit, quicker moves and a surplus of raw power. The result might not be faster than a speeding bullet, but it is a fast sedan that Lexus hopes will win over performance fans like the Man of Steel won over Lois Lane.

The basic A5 coupe is an enticing offering thanks to Audis renowned sense of style, quattro all-wheel drive and the robust performance of its strong V6 engine. Those looking for an even more capable coupe can choose the V8-powered version, the S5, which offers all the style of the A5 along with sharper handling and nearly 90 extra horsepower.
