      "Reverend Jim" Ignatowski: Pssssttt... what does the yellow light mean?

    • Crazy credits
      Though no single character was the main star, Judd Hirsch received a pre title credit. He only took the role of Reiger under this condition.
    • Alternate versions
      A few episodes' soundtracks used copyrighted songs by artists not affiliated with the show, which had to be removed from the DVD release.

    The Greatest Sitcom of the 80's
    What more can you say about one of the classic situation comedies of all time. Just like many of the classics, this show was a great ensemble. Judd Hirsch may have been the star, but it was the interplay between the cast members that made this show what it was. Tony, Bobby, Elaine, Jim, Louie and, of course, Latka were all great characters and they helped make this show what it was. But, it not only was the characters. The writing made this one of the more intelligent comedies of its era and you could see a lot of what made "Cheers" great in this show. This show deserves a lot of the praise it has gotten over the years and its too bad that that more shows can't follow the example that "Taxi" showed.
