This is the season when Taxi, which got referenced in a late Mork & Mindy episode, got picked up by NBC after ABC cancelled it. I think I mostly watched Taxi in syndication. I sort of liked it, but the reason why I taped bits and pieces of this episode is of course that Marcia Wallace guest-stars as herself, fixed up by Simka (Carol Kane) with a smitten Reverend Jim (Christopher Lloyd). Jim's lyrics to the Bob Newhart Show theme are a definite highlight. Director Noam Pitlik also had a long acting career, including as Donald Hardy on Gidget, a couple roles on That Girl, and, yes, as Mr. Gianelli on BNS.
