80s Taxi Tapestries
Description: The show focuses on the employees of the fictional Sunshine Cab Company, and its principal setting is the company's fleet garage in Manhattan. Among the drivers, only Alex Reiger, who is disillusioned with life, considers cab driving his profession. The others view it as a temporary job. Elaine Nardo is a single mother working as a receptionist at an art gallery. Tony Banta is a boxer with a losing record. Bobby Wheeler is a struggling actor. John Burns (written out of the show after the first season) is working his way through college. All take pity on "Reverend Jim" Ignatowski, an aging hippie minister, who is burnt out from drugs, so they help him become a cabbie.
Description: Also known as Street Fleet, D.C. Cab is an American comedy movie released in 1983. The film follows the misadventures of a group of unfortunate but streetwise cabbies working for a decrepit taxicab company in Washington, D.C. Despite featuring '80s icon Mr. T as part of an ensemble cast, D.C. Cab was a crude and bawdy R rated flick that was anything but family-friendly, leaving many critics and theatergoers less than thrilled with the film.
