Taxi

Weeknights at 12a ET | 9p PT

Taxi follows the aspirations and setbacks of the employees at Sunshine Cab Company. Most Sunshine Cab drivers view the gig as temporary, something they will leave behind as soon as they find success in their true callings. A character will often make inroads at getting out of the cab business, only to have their hopes dashed as they find themselves back at the garage, under the thumb of Louie De Palma (Danny DeVito), the unsympathetic head dispatcher.
