Editorial Reviews

Becker centers on the life of Dr. John Becker, a cantankerous, yet dedicated and talented physician, who, in spite of his constant rants, has a decent heart underneath the sarcasm. Becker will continue to unleash his views at the local diner, even in Reggie’s continuing absense. Jake (Alex Desert), the blind proprietor of the local newsstand continues to turn a deaf ear to John. Bob, Becker’s brash, obnoxious apartment super (Saverio Guerra), persists in annoying virtually everyone. At the office, Becker’s head nurse Margaret (Hattie Winston) continues to make order out of chaos, keeping John and his space-cadet nurses-aid Linda (Shawnee Smith) in line. New to the neighborhood is Chris Konnors (Nancy Travis), Becker’s new neighbor, with whom he must contend on a daily basis. Although her positive attitude is a major annoyance to Becker, he slowly begins to have feelings for her. John Becker is a cynical Harvard Medical School graduate who is somewhat of a loner and has trouble letting people get close to him. He looks at the world around him and feels society has gone mad - full of inconsistencies and just plain backward thinking. Although he is a diagnostician by trade, Becker feels he can dispense diagnoses even when no one asks. He has no qualms about saying what comes to mind, never sugarcoats his opinions and often seems to offend somebody nearby. However, his friends and colleagues recognize the heart beneath the hate and so accept his gruff demeanor for what it is

When there is nothing on worth watching, which is frequently, it's Becker Time! This is one of those series where everything worked. Perfect cast. Perfect scripts. Everything. I wish they were still on but at least they are on dvd. I highly recomend Becker, the series. Good clean fun yet addressing issues that surround us everyday.

Becker (played by Ted Danson) is a grumpy neighborhood doctor, but his patients, office assistants and friends at the coffee shop all love him anyway. The Becker programs are very funny and evoke lots of laughter -- which we can all use these days.

This review is from: Becker: Three Season Pack (DVD)

I have to admit I have not watched every epiosde of all three seasons yet but so far I am thrilled with the set. I wish the whole series was available as it would be nice, and probably more economical, to purchase the series as a set. The three season pack was nice though and I hope the rest of the series is offered in similar packs as I will purchase the remaining seasons as they become available. Some people may find the filming a little "grainy" but I don't think this is the video quality; I have watched it on the channels where it is in syndication and it looks the same so I think this is the way it was filmed originally-just not that crystal clarity that we are used to with most things now. Overall an excellent set.
