Becker was one of my all time favorite sitcoms along with Cheers and Everybody Loves Raymond. I was sorry to see the series end and don't even bother watching today's mindless sitcoms. There hasn't been anything since to compare with Becker's wry humor and unique character roles. As in Raymond & Cheers, the casting was perfect! I was delighted to see that Season One will now be on DVD and I'll look forward to the other season's series to follow. Count me in as a customer for them all!

The first season of Becker is full of great episodes. The plot lines have substance in addition to just humor. As well, the characters play off each other very strongly from the beginning of the show. Some of the highlights of the season are:
"Activate your choices" the appearance of Dr. Becker's ex-wife, who has written a book about anger, and uses Becker as an example.

"Lucky Day" everything goes right for Becker, which upsets him for the entire day.

All the episodes are good, and I look forward to the other five seasons.

Oh yes. Someone finally has put Becker on DVD. I like how they put the newer shows on DVD and it takes a long time to put a go show on DVD. I bet if they were to bring Becker back now with what has transpired since the show ended, the writers could come up with realy good material to bring the show back, but we all know that will never happen. Atleast we will be able to enjoy the shows that were produced and watch good comedy again.

Oddly enough my wife and I always loved BECKER when we used to catch it on TV during its original run, but we were never regular viewers.
I guess it came on at a time slot we just missed.

We really watched it more in syndication and of course now on the DVD collection.

The best thing I can say about BECKER is even though they write the show to kind of stab some fun at him........ the truth is he is right on the mark about 99% of the time on the things he gripes about........ (ie.. people acting stupid, rude neighbors playing loud music, stereotypes, the silliness of political correctness, etc...)

BECKER has the right viewpoint most of the time.

I have to confess we started losing interest in the show after Reggi & Bob left.
Like many TV shows, the "chemistry" between leading cast often makes the show.
The "chemistry" of BECKER was lost quite a bit when Nancy Travis joined the show.
We found her a real negative detraction from the series.

FOR ALL OF US DISCONTENTS, A VOICE,,BECKER WITH HIS TRUTHS, SORROWS, AND
HUMOR, FINALLY, AT LAST,AND WELL WORTH THE PRICE...

Channel surfing one night, a few years back, changed my viewing pleasure as I found Becker. I missed the first season over here in NZ and so was absolutely thrilled to find it listed at Amazon.

It has now been approx 2 months and 7 days since I pre orderd the season 1 release. It should be here by the weekend and I have planned to watch it all over 2 days!!!

For its dry, hold no punches comedy it has to be one of the greats. Ted Danson gives us yet another character that you sometimes wish you had the guts to be like and get away with it.

Why is it that the great shows are cut off in their prime or moved to late night TV? And yet the mindless crap still gets prime time spots that I can't believe anybody really watches and enjoys.

The answer to this I fear will never be known, all I can say is keep releasing the greats to DVD ... All seasons of Becker are definitely on my purchase list.

I started watching Becker in reruns. I could not get enough of Ted Danson. His portrayal of Dr John Becker is Danson at his best.
Then add in the best supporting cast since Cheers and this show ranks right up there with Cheers.
I am glad they have finally put the show on DVD finally. I only hope they don't make us wait another 5 years for season 2

Yay! I had been hoping this would be out on DVD soon, and now the wait is over. Becker is the best show on tv right now, even though it is reruns. Can't wait for the remaining seasons!

This has got to be one of the best TV sitcoms. You will laugh till you cry. I cant wait for all the seasons to be on dvd. We all waited long enough for these to come out!

So well written and acted. Why didn't the studio release this before now? And, what about the other seasons? Can't wait!
