My favorite Reverend Jim is the episode where he describes a turning point in his life. He was a straight laced college student who tries pot for the first time.
-
I remember the first time I saw Christopher Lloyd on Taxi I could not believe he was acting He looked like such a burnout that he had to be real!😂
-
Christopher is a world treasure.
-
Not gonna lie, Rev. Jim kept me hooked to finish the series. I loved him so much in the show.
-
I think Reverend Jim is a far better character than Latka. I’ll die on that hill.
-
“I must have had music lessons. “ Rev Jim.
-
This and WKRP’s turkey drop made me lose it . Hilarious
-
The "What Does A Yellow Light Mean?" scene was the best.
-
This scene is up there with Les Nessman reporting on the Thanksgiving Turkey Drop on “WKRP” for laugh-till-your-sides-ache funny.
-
It’s crazy the amount of talent in Danny Devito and Chris Lloyd. It was like those 2 were on another level from the rest of the cast. Danny’s episode where he found God and wouldn’t show anger was absolutely hilarious. And when Reverend Jim appeared for the first time, you could just tell he was going to be back. They just blew everyone else away.
-
"Elegant Iggy" has my favorite scene: "Must've had... music lessons."
-
Marilu Henner in that dress in the 2nd episode is what got me hooked
-
I wonder if anyone ever expected to have such a star packed cast? Everyone on that show was a character playing a character.
-
It is hard to describe just how much of an upgrade Reverend Jim was to Randall Carver's character.
-
Jim the Psychic. The whole Girl Scout cookie scene. One of the funniest things on TV ever.
-
Judd Hirsch is the glue that binds ensembles.
-
I remember a time when we could hardly watch a popular movie that didn't include Christopher Lloyd. The guy literally made the movie no matter what movie he was in.
-
When I met Christopher at a convention I told him this was my all-time favourite scene. He also signed my Taxi Season 2 DVD.
-
Absolutely inspired. That was 46 years ago and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Best episode of Taxi. Love how Tony Danza can barely keep it together
