Review: Season Four at Last, But with Compromises - Seasons four and five are without question Taxi's best two seasons. Thus, the long wait since the season 3 box set release has been interminable. But better late than never. Season four is particularly notable as the first season in which Jeff Conaway is no longer a member of the cast (although he does make one last appearance in the series for the episode "Bobby Doesn't Live Here Anymore" and one other episode in which he appears, "Fledgling," was shot during season 3 but not aired until season 4). While the Bobby character was an important part of the show during the first three episodes, his departure actually allowed the cast to get even tighter and the writers to explore the relationships between the characters even deeper. The fourth season also contains the hilarious Emmy award winning episode "Jim the Psychic," which deservingly won the award for best writing. Another highlight is "Elegant Iggy," which the authors of the book Hailing Taxi, a comprehensive look at the series, cite as their favorite episode of the entire series' five-year run. As for this DVD set, I'm so happy to see this season released. But it's not without compromises. The first, while probably relatively subtle to most buyers, is that the entire set was squeezed onto only 3 DVDs, which means they had to compress the video with a slightly lower bitrate than we'd normally see with professionally released DVDs. As a result, if you have a high-end display, you might notice more MPEG-2 compression artifacts than normal. The other is the removal of all Billy Joel "Vienna Waits" audio clips in the episode of the same name. This is a shame, but not a huge surprise. A box set like this is only going to make a modest amount of money and the cost of licensing music by a well-known artist is incredibly high. Using a known recording on a TV show requires a specific synchronization license, a mechanical use license, AND a master user license. What surprised me, though, was not the deleted Billy Joel clips, but that even the performance by the actor playing guitar on the airplane had to be cut, which wouldn't require the master use license. But again, this is a compromise we'd have to deal with in order to see any of this season's content out on DVD. Along the lines of the above, there is at least one other music-related edit that really surprised me. At the end of the episode "Tony's Lady" as originally broadcast, Jim leaves the garage singing the old standard "Got a Date with an Angel." But on this DVD, it's abruptly cut out. I'd be surprised this song is still in copyright. But even if it is, it's hard to image that the synchronization and mechanical use license for that 15 seconds would cost very much at all--especially at the expense of a wonderfully funny moment. But in all, it's still wonderful to see this season finally coming out and here's hoping season five (my favorite of all the seasons) will follow shortly thereafter. Review: And Now....SEASON 5 is coming your way! - Just announced today! TAXI SEASON 5th and Final Season is tentatively being released near Christmas! Now our collections will be complete for all Taxi fans out there. Frankly, it's a mystery why this classic series has taken so long to complete. At least Paramount has done a great job of finishing up what they started, which is rare for many dvd companies, even if there are slight music alterations. (Mary Tyler Moore being the perfect example of another long wait) Season Four continued to stretch our understanding of the gang. This was the year we saw far more in-depth coverage of all of them. What I found so profound about TAXI was how some of the episodes ended on a sad, poignant note. It understood that with comedy comes pain, and never shied away from human flaws and sadness. Watching Taxi was like watching 24 minute theatrical well written plays. You got the laughs, but you never left an episode without the writers and producers sharing a new revelation about Elaine, Alex, Jim, and even Louie. It is such a shame we never see Taxi episodes in repeats any longer. I always felt it was because of how "deep" Taxi got. I think this is why the series has not had it's due in the syndication afterlife. Taxi is not about a string of insults or quick comebacks, as most sitcoms and comedies rely on. (Think Will and Grace, or anything else that has cartoon-like characters) A laugh was never cheap; it was always immediately followed up with something discomforting, and forced the viewer to really think. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002FLOTFO | | Actors | Andy Kaufman, Christopher Lloyd, Danny De Vito, Jeff Conaway, Marilu Henner | | Best Sellers Rank | #68,139 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #7,565 in Comedy (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (150) | | Item model number | 5821793 | | MPAA rating | NR (Not Rated) | | Media Format | Box set, Closed-captioned, Color, Full Screen, Multiple Formats, NTSC | | Number of discs | 3 | | Product Dimensions | 0.6 x 5.4 x 7.5 inches; 2.4 ounces | | Release date | September 22, 2009 | | Run time | 9 hours and 42 minutes | | Studio | Paramount | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Andy Kaufman, Christopher Lloyd, Danny De Vito, Jeff Conaway, Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Tony Danza - **Format:** Box set, Closed-captioned, Color, Full Screen, Multiple Formats, NTSC - **Genre:** Comedy, TV - **Language:** English - **Number Of Discs:** 3 ## Images ![Taxi: Season 4 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51TktqMPf0L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Season Four at Last, But with Compromises *by P***E on July 15, 2009* Seasons four and five are without question Taxi's best two seasons.

It was unfortunate that politics became involved in its release. This show is absolutely one of the funniest I have ever seen and what's even better - it's timeless! As a pe-teen, I waited anxiously every week for the newest episode..This show was so well written and just a cab full of fun...Timeless..I believe it is this season that has the episode where Rev. Jim loses his Dad. His dad leaves Jim his suit and in the suit pocket is a tape of Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life". As funny a show as 'Taxi" was, this episode made me cry so. Then my Dad past away a couple of years ago and playing on the radio one day was that Stevie Wonder song. It made me smile so because I thought of Rev. Jim's dad and my dad and I said.."I know how Jim felt". Dad was my sunshine..:-) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31852193-taxi-season-4](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/31852193-taxi-season-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
