"Taxi 0-22" is a popular Canadian television comedy series, which airs on TVA, a
Quebec -basedFrench language network inCanada .The series stars
Patrick Huard asMontréal cab driver Rogatien Dubois Jr. II. The first season is predominantly set inside Dubois' dark blue taxi, aFord Crown Victoria , and the comedy unfolds through his interactions - usually opinionated and deeply held - with the guest stars and other passengers who ride in his cab. Season two expanded the show's narrative to focus more on stories and characters outside of his taxi. Dubois speaks a thickly accented and rapidly delivered slang/dialect which is typical of Quebec's working-class French-speaking population.The first season of the show commenced broadcast in February 2007, and the second in January 2008, and is aired at 21:00 on Thursday nights. It has been reported that more than one million viewers watch the show every week. The TVA network has ordered seasons three and four to be produced, based on the success of the series.
