How did Taxi jump the shark during it's run? I think it did when John Burns left the show...he was a sweet, smart guy who should have stayed.

It jumped a little when Bobby left, but his departure didn't ruin the whole show.

I really don't think the show jumped. It wasn't on the air long enough to jump(5 years). Most shows start jumping in there 6-8th season when they seem to loose steam and start coming up with repetative or stupid plotlines.

I agree. I can't think of an episode that I don't like.

I don't think Taxi jumped at all. I think it actually got better after John left and Jim joined.

I agree with Kristen, Taxi never jumped.
