"Taxi" - General Information

One of Christopher Lloyd's finest half hours

Christopher Lloyd regularly portrayed the ever-eccentric Reverend Jim "Iggy" Ignatowski (ne James Caldwell) in the Emmy-winning sitcom "Taxi" beginning in episode 33. His most famous performance, however, came in episode 27 when he repeatedly asked "What does the yellow light mean?" Jim was a kind-hearted character who loved to do good things for people (see episode 33). Unfortunately, his fellow cabbies saw him as a burned out druggie from the '60's. Louie, the cabbies' cruel boss, was Jim's best friend, or so Jim thought.

Some of Lloyd's other famous performances included Jim's analysis of "Latka's Cookies" (episode 55), the first time Jim ever ate a "funny brownie" in "The Road Not Taken, Part 1" (episode 89), and the touching moment when Jim's father passed away and Jim went through his belongings in "Jim's Inheritance" (episode 93).
