Synopsis
Taxi Season 2 (1979) — 24 episodes on ABC, watch online on iFILM. One new driver reshapes the whole garage: Reverend Jim Ignatowski (Christopher Lloyd), a refugee from the 1960s who lost a decade somewhere and stopped looking for it.
Jim shows up in episode three and stays. Around him the season keeps moving: Latka hears there is a revolution back home and starts packing. The drivers go on strike, and the only deal that ends it is Elaine agreeing to spend an evening with Louie. Bobby lands an agent who wants something more personal than a commission. Alex jumps out of a ski plane to prove he is not just a cab driver — and surprises himself.
Christopher Lloyd won an Emmy for this role, and the show earned its first Outstanding Comedy Series award the same year. Stream Taxi Season 2 online on iFILM, all 24 episodes.
