Of Mice And Tony
Ranked #52 out of 114 episodes in Taxi
Tony becomes the manager of a promising young heavyweight boxer at his gym, but after the boxer wins a major fight, the ""syndicate"" (which turns out to be some doctors looking for an investment, rather than the mob) makes Tony an offer he can't refuse and takes over the boxer's management.
Tony's mouse subplot drives 47 jokes across 44 minutes—pure character escalation at Taxi's sweet spot.
Directed by James Burrows · Written by Les Charles, Glen Charles
