Taxi (TV series)/Tear Jerker

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Tear Jerkers in Taxi include:

  • There was one episode where Reverend Jim's father died and left him a fortune, but it winds up being placed in a trust due to Jim's mental state. The episode ended with Jim going through his dad's personal effects, finding a tape of "You Are The Sunshine of My Life," and listening to it while staring at his dad's old suit draped across a chair.
  • In one episode, Jim buys an old racehorse that had outlived its usefulness, and kept it in his apartment. Typical wacky Jim business, but when the horse dies, Jim officiates at a funeral (he is a Reverend, after all) and gives a remarkably perceptive, moving eulogy.
