He was great in “Ruthless People” (I Love Wrong Numbers!)

TAXI was good comedy.

Up there with Barney Miller.

I once knew a lady cab driver who told me that Louie Depalma is a very accurate depiction of taxi dispatchers.

“Ah, back from an era where sitcoms could be so funny.”

And they did it without a thick spread of faggotry on the show...

At first glance I thought that may have been another Biden Milestone Statement.

A show that good on TV today would be a blockbuster. TV is just getting worse by the day. 500 channels and 90% of my viewing is on about 15 channels.

I should quit TV and go back to reading books.

Sit coms are often crude today, full of toilet humor. They have no clue how to be clever or deal with universal issues of human nature in order to be funny. It is just perversion, stupidity, and vulgarity.

Reality TV is absolutely the worst.
