Who's your favorite character on Taxi and why?

01-19-2001, 05:07 PM

Jim Ignatowski, hands down. It would have been a very good sitcom without Reverend Jim, but Christopher Lloyd made the show great. My favorite scene has to be the costume party where the guy in the dinosaur costume walks by and Jim says "You Again!!!" and he turns to his friends and says "I see that guy wherever I go".

I also liked Jim the best. The Louie character was somewhat nasty after awhile. Not a very lovable character but he was funny if he didn't have too many scenes during a show. I agree that if any of the characters had left, the show would still have been super successful.

I liked John from the first season the best. I wish he had stayed on for longer.

Louie, Alex, Jim, Bobby, Tony, Elaine, Latka

I like them all. I didn't care for John though.

Antonio (Wings) "Oh, forgive me! I thought we could use a break from your 'All the good men are married or gay' speech!"

Robert (Everybody Loves Raymond): "It's always about you, Raymond. Raymond, Raymond, Raymond, everybody loves Raymond!"

Jim. He was the funniest.

Louie was the funniest!

Okay, I'm sure I can't spell it, but Simka was always my favorite. Carol Kane's such a riot!

Everyone had great parts and it fit together well but my favorite was Jim. His serious, sad side came out when his dad died, when he wrote poetry to Elane and his relationship with his siblings. But he could drop a comic bombshell of a line out of the blue that would have me laughing for days afterward. He was like a child and like a child, funny as hell to watch. You had to watch out, Simka has less opportunities but she could blow you away also. Thought she was kinda cute too..

I would have to say louie becuase he was so sneaky just like me

*PinkLady* · 03-15-2003, 10:00 AM

I like all of them, with the exception of John and occasionally Jim.

My Favourite character has to be Jim, so many classic lines. Christopher Lloyd created an icon..pure genius.
