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.System Requirements:TRT: 370 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC:Â 097361326443 Manufacturer No:Â 132644

Customer Rating:      Summary: Becker - The First Season Comment: My husband and I really enjoy the Becker Shows. We purchased the complete series and were dissapointed with the quality. The purchase was made on Amazon.com but not a direct purchase. Some dvd's were no good and some shows were apparently recorded on fast forward mode. We are pleased to see Amazon offering direct sales of Becker. We have purchased the First Season and are constantly checking for more Seasons thru Amazon.com direct.

Customer Rating:      Summary: Love it! Comment: Absolutely love Becker! Didn't think it would live up to Cheers but boy was I wrong! Anyone know when will the other seasons be released to DVD?
Customer Rating:      Summary: So Here's The Thing.... Comment: Unfortunally I slept on this show during it's initial primetime run but I caught it in syndication & let me tell you that I wish I saw this in primetime so I could have enjoyed this longer because this is one of the most underrated comedies to come out in recent years. Becker's character of someone who's heavily opinionated & isn't afraid to say what's on his mind is just gold. Eventhough that's the side that's present more than any other, you see other sides of him as well throughout the series as well showing that he does care about the people around him & his heart is in the right place where it matters (Pilot episode). With other characters like Becker's best friend & blind newsstand owner Jake, supermodel to crappy cafe owner Reggie, more beauty than brains Linda, and Margret being the only one who's somewhat normal...just the right formula. Pick this up as this is a show you will laugh at & hopefully, all the other seaons will be released as well.
Customer Rating:      Summary: One of the GREATEST, yet underrated sitcoms of all-time Comment: Finally...after a 4-year wait since the series ended, it's SO great to finally be able to own Becker on DVD. Every character was great in their own unique way - and being a huge Shawnee Smith fan, I always enjoyed Linda and her quirkyness, hehe.
But..anyway...Season 1 is loaded with great episodes (well, pretty much ALL of them are classic). The ONLY down-side to this DVD, is the lack of Special Features - no commentaries, no behind-the-scenes footage, no deleted scenes...just the episiodes. But oh well - we got Becker on DVD!
Now it's time to wait for Seasons 2 - 6. . .
Customer Rating:      Summary: Go Becker!! Comment: My husband and I both love Becker. We didn't watch it much when it was on as a series, but now love the re-runs. I got the 1st season DVD set as soon as it came out and we have watched them over and over. We travel a lot and are so excited when we find a channel that is running the re-runs. I have rarely watched a series like this that can make me laugh until my sides hurt. PLEASE, PLEASE get the next seasons out on DVD sets really soon. I can hardly wait!!
