Taxi -- The guys are trying to get Jim Ignatowski a driver job... What kind of schooling do you have, did you take math, chemistry?.... Jim: "I took a LOT of chemistry"


LOL!! I remember that & I can still hear Chris Lloyd's voice delivering the line (so to speak).

Did anyone ever inform the folks at ABC when they ran that ad for Taxi, that everyone in their "cross-section of life's meting pot" was white!?

Funny, I never connected that character with Lloyd!  Must have been the hair.

Well, that way they can program the whole day in advance and only have to pay an engineer to keep things running and maybe Mike Powers to give the occasional impression that someone human is there in the studio.

When Christopher Lloyd came up I glanced at his IMDb bio & saw that he won an Independent Spirit award for a film I'd never heard of called Twenty Bucks, which led me to Ebert's nice review here: http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19940408/REVIEWS/404080304/1023.  Anyone seen this?  Sounds like one I'd enjoy, and the cast list is quite amazing (Gladys Knight, sans Pips & David Schwimmer pre-Friends, for two).

Never seen it, but it shows up on IFC and Sundance Channel occasionally.

Yep, rented it a number of years ago. Good flick, the premise is sort of like the Red Violin but a bit more umm, earthy?
