The third season has many standout episodes. Alex learns that his daughter is getting married but hasn't invited him to the wedding, which leads to a surprisingly sparky confrontation with his ex-wife (guest start Louise Lasser, Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman). When single mom Elaine (Marilu Henner) is embarrassed by meeting a more successful high-school friend in her cab, she lies to save face and Alex steps in to back her up. Aspiring boxer Tony (Tony Danza, Who's the Boss?) can't decide how to tell Elaine that her new boyfriend made a pass at him. Tony's sister (guest star Julie Kavner, the voice of Marge on The Simpsons) falls in love with the addled but affable Jim (Christopher Lloyd, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit), much to Tony's dismay. Also crucial to the show's success was the oddball presence of Andy Kaufman, whose quirky, unspecifically-Eastern-European mechanic Latka Gravas sometimes made an awkward fit with the rest of the ensemble. But even at his most eccentric, Kaufman was always weirdly watchable, especially in his bizarre, season-closing transformation into the loungy Vic Ferrari. All in all, the third season is an excellent sampling of this sterling sitcom. Sadly, there are no commentaries or other extras. --Bret Fetzer

Customer Reviews of Taxi - The Complete Third Season
This is one hilarious sitcom! Taxi, in my opinion, is one of the best sitcoms of all time. It started off slowly (season 1) but once the characters became better defined and new characters such as Jim Ignatowski and Simka Gravas were introduced, it really took off. Seasons 2 through 4 were definitely the best. The characters were so hilarious and memorable. Who can ever forget Louie Depalma's conniving ways or Latka's playboy alter ego (Vic Ferrari)? This series is a must have for classic sitcom lovers. Which brings me to my next point, when the heck is Season 4 coming out? This is arguably the best season of the series and it's been a lifetime since Season 3 has come out. I'm afraid the studios aren't going to release any more of this series which would be a shame considering there are only 2 more seasons to complete all the episodes. There is nothing on the Internet indicating a possible future release. Does anyone have any information on a possible Season 4 release? <

Another good season of Taxi
I do have one major complaint about the first disc on this season it has 5 minutes of promos for other tv show dvd's which you cannot fast foward through and have to go through each time you put the first disc in and play it.
