The season for the rating is that my favorite character, John, was let go after the first season. In hindsight Jeff Conaway should have been let go. Reverend Jim was an interesting character. Kind of reminds me of a night shift driver with the company I drove for. The cabs brought back memories. Here you have a boxer who was the poster child for a tomato, the actor who couldn't get a break, a female who really wants to run an art gallery, a burn out who is unable to do anything else, a mid-westerner who's first time in "The Big City", and finally someone who actually admits to being a cab driver. Then there Louie De Palma the dispatcher from Hades. When I became a dispatcher I could sometimes feel the "spirit inside me. Some of the characters I worked with was a photo journalist whose divorce left him sour with world. Although he was standoffish if you got to know him he was okay. There was a driver who was very quiet, spoke slow, and drove even slower to the point he almost got a ticket for driving too slow Once during time in the dispatch office he, the dispatcher, and I had a serious conversation about Erwin Rommel. Double D lady, the dispatcher's girlfriend as well as another girlfriend. The Jamaican "Sensation" his stories about experience with passengers crack everyone up. The "self proclaimed" hit man (the deed was "somewhere" up north") and some interesting dispatchers.
During some of the episodes the drivers could communicate via their radios. Sorry but that never happened. This is an underrated series however.
