Becker	comment	Becker was a Sitcom which ran on CBS from 1998â€“2004, about an angry, loud, opinionated doctor named John Becker (played by Ted Danson, in his second lead role in a TV series produced by Paramount, after Cheers) with a small practice in the Bronx and a loose group of petty, self-centered "friends", who seemed to be the only people who could actually stand Becker for more than a few moments. Nevertheless he seemed popular with his patients, despite the fact that Becker generally hated people.At work, head nurse Margaret Wyborn (Hattie Winston) was in charge, and the practice was assisted by Linda (Shawnee Smith), who could be The Ditz but was very popular with the patients. Becker spent most of his time at Reggie's Diner, owned by ex-model Reggie Kostas (Terry Farrell, who also had a pre-existing relationship with Paramount, having starred on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine prior to this series). Other characters included blind newspaper seller Jake Malinak (Alex DÃ©sert) and Bob (Saverio Guerra), an annoying old schoolfriend of Reggie's who referred to himself in the third person.After Season 4, Reggie was suddenly written out of the show after Farrell was fired, and new character Chris Connor (Nancy Travis) took over for the final two seasons. Bob left in Season 6 and was replaced by Hector Lopez (Jorge Garcia).The show seemed determined to outdo Seinfeld's level of human depravity.It will come as no surprise, even to anyone who's never seen the show, that Becker Pets The Dog frequently.

Becker / int_10dcbe05	comment	Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: A professional variant occurs with John and Margaret. While they typically have a sarcastic relationship, John admits on more than one occasion that he would be nothing without Margaret. Margaret in turn admits that she does love working for John despite his abrasive personality.

Becker / int_196d2598	comment	Too Good to Be True: In "Lucky Day," the normally unlucky Becker experiences a surprising streak of good fortune, such as finding an ideal parking space, getting an unexpected tax refund, experiencing an unusually fast trip to the post office, and picks a winning horse for Jake. He's convinced this is something that will turn on him — which finally happens at the end of the episode in grand fashion. Becker gets soaked when a car splashes him while going through a puddle. He also gets robbed, losing his gold pen, IRS refund check, and share of horse race winnings.

The mood turns solemn briefly when John realizes the cat had come in his window and kept him company a number of times, but turns darkly hilarious again when the woman reveals what killed the cat. He was lying by the door and ended up being hit by a heavy package coming through the mail slot — which turns out to be an atlas John had ordered, hadn't received, and spent most of the episode chasing down, believing he'd been ripped off. The episode ends with John asking Mrs. Bernstein if she still has it.

Reggie just chalked it up to John being his cranky self, and encourages him to be more pleasant with his father. It didn't occur to her (until she was told) that there might be more to the story, and that his father wasn't always the jolly guy he presented himself as at the diner.

When John realistically tells her she doesn't even need to work for him, she tells him that she prefers the job over her lavish apartment. In "Shovel off to Buffalo," it's revealed that Bob is an excellent cook. He and Jake run the diner in Reggie's absence. Margaret becomes depressed after hearing about the success of an old friend in "Margaret Sings the Blues." It turns out that Margaret once had ambitions to be a singer, which she gave up years ago to become a nurse; she demonstrates her vocal talents in a jazz club the group goes to.

Becker / int_3322dd48	comment	Hollywood Law: It's most unlikely that the malpractice suit against Becker at the end of Season 3 would have ever seen the inside of a courtroom. First off, Vinny's poor physical shape and sedentary lifestyle made him a heart attack waiting to happen regardless of whether he got on the treadmill or not. In addition, Becker didn't force Vinny to start exercising — he did so of his own free will, and it's standard procedure at most gyms to sign a waiver that absolves anybody else from responsibility should a health issue occur. To add insult to injury, the plaintiff's attorney framed his case against Becker as a character assassination, which had no bearing on the suit and would have been quashed by any reasonable judge. On top of everything else, the defense attorney sleeping with one of the character witnesses is totally unethical, and it's hardly plausible that Becker would've held onto her counsel after that. Granted, the denouement of the arc ended in a Moment of Awesome in which Becker lampshaded most of these things, but the premise of the story is extremely unrealistic.

In the episode "V-Day," George Wendt stars as a bartender at a train station bar patronized by Becker. Kelsey Grammer appears as Rick Cooper, an old friend of Becker's in the episode "But I've Got Friends I Haven't Used Yet." He's a former alcoholic who is apologizing to those he wronged in the past. The episode "Psycho Therapy" features Rhea Perlman as Dr. Katherine Simmons, Becker's court ordered therapist. She is trying to help Becker with his anger problem, reversing a dynamic from Cheers when Sam would help Carla through her anger. Frances Sternhagen, who played Cliff Clavin's mother Esther, turns up in the episode "Subway Story" as a mother who has gotten lost trying to get to the World Trade Center site by subway. Her son was killed on 9/11. In the episode "The Ex Files," Becker's friends find out he sang "Goodnight Sweetheart" in a barbershop quartet in college. He sang the same song barbershop style in Three Men and a Baby.

In the episode "Mis Steaks," it is revealed that Becker and Margaret's husband Lewis can't stand to be in the same room as each other because of something involving veal piccata.

Becker / int_4781adbb	comment	Jerk with a Heart of Gold: As much of a jerk as Becker is to Linda and (at times) Margaret, he truly seems to care for them, as well as most of his patients. That is, the ones that aren't stupid. He even has a surprising amount of patience with some of his stupid patients, such as Mrs. Recinos, who asks — after being told to only drink clear liquids until she gets better — whether orange juice and milk would be okay. And then asks if vodka would be good for her, also being a clear fluid. One episode states that Becker's office is in such a bad location because he wants to help people that otherwise wouldn't have access to medical help. Becker also frequently accepts gifts such as baked goods and sports tickets instead of money as many of his patients are broke. At times, Becker uses his own pocket money to finance treatments for patients who are otherwise unable to afford it, such as the HIV-positive child from the pilot episode. It's the major reason why he keeps his beaten down car. "Subway Story" has his patience tested when he guides an old lady to where she wants to go, before he starts to realize that she was going to Ground Zero. When she explains the reason why she can't go up and look at the site, the realization hits Becker hard. He stays with her as she talks about her son who died on September 11th.

The mood of the show is much more caustic and gritty than later seasons, with Becker being downright rude and unprofessional as opposed to the cynical Deadpan Snarker he became. Linda's ditziness was even more pronounced, bordering on childlike naivete. Reggie was much more secretive about her private life, and hadn't yet established the friendships with the rest of the cast that she would later cultivate. This is justified in many ways...it was hinted at that Becker and Reggie were both new to the area, so the pervading anger of the early episodes makes sense in the context that both of them are both dealing with new life situations.

The show was obviously looking for a believable way to get Becker to quit smoking for good, but banning smoking from the diner hardly necessitated him to quit cold turkey.

Another occurs in "Atlas Shirked," when John attends a funeral in his building (hoping to investigate whether the apartment will be available soon), for what turns out to be the resident's beloved pet cat. The mood turns solemn briefly when John realizes the cat had come in his window and kept him company a number of times, but turns darkly hilarious again when the woman reveals what killed the cat. He was lying by the door and ended up being hit by a heavy package coming through the mail slot — which turns out to be an atlas John had ordered, hadn't received, and spent most of the episode chasing down, believing he'd been ripped off. The episode ends with John asking Mrs. Bernstein if she still has it.

After a passing remark is made in the Season 6 premiere that he had gone â€œon vacation,â€� the character is never seen or mentioned again. Somewhat justified in that Bob was never particularly liked in-universe, but it's still a bit jarring given that he was totally forgotten about after spending every day at the diner for several seasons.

Much to John's consternation, the patient's bloodwork showed that his health did improve despite not taking the medicine. While Becker points out that it could've been an aberration, the patient insisted that it was the power of prayer. Since the episode ends without resolving the issue and we never hear about the patient again, things are left ambiguous.

Each time, one of them brings up something Linda's father had done and then adding "Okay, I did not know you didn't know about that." The final scene reverses when Linda's father calls the office. Becker answers the phone and brings up the affair his wife was having with a tennis instructor, likewise unaware that Linda's father didn't know about that.
