Ted Danson starred in this 1998-2004 CBS sitcom as Dr. John Becker, a Bronx general practitioner whose non-existent bedside manner and abrasive, sarcastic demeanor masked deep-down dedication to his patients. Putting up with Becker on a daily basis were model-turned-diner-owner Reggie (Terry Farrell), blind newsstand man Jake (Alex Desert), and his nurses-no-nonsense Margaret (Hattie Winston) and bubble-brained Linda (Shawnee Smith).129 episodes on 17 discs. 46 hrs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; Subtitles: English (SDH); interviews; gag reel.

One of the greatest shows on television.
This is one of my favorite shows. I am so glad to have it a part of my sitcom collection. I already have The Big Bang Theory. I already have two guys and girl in a Pizza Pl., Martin Reba, George Lopez show, Coach, two broke girls. And now this.

One of the best and underrated sicoms from the late 90's to early aughts.
Becker (Ted Danson) is a superficially grumpy but ultimately compassionate family doctor that serves poorer folks.Most of the action takes place in either Becker's practice or the local diner run by Reggie (Terry Ferrell). Becker is acerbic, opinionated, and doesn't mind loudly sharing that. The other characters each have their idiosyncratic traits. All are perfectly cast and funny.The show is hysterical and is truly one of the underrated sitcoms of the time.Sadly, there's no BluRay transfer, only DVD. It's watchable but it's a constant reminder of how bad broadcast television and 480p video looks today. But aside from that, totally worth watching.

DVD series "BECKER"
Great cast! Excellent acting and the writers did an amazing job with all the actors' lines, very enjoyable series, so many laughs. Rather surprised and a little sad that Reggie was written out of the final series, although, at the end Chris and Becker were a good team. The case the discs come in is not the greatest design (see video), the 3 plastic frames that the discs attaché to are flimsy and discs awkward to get out and put back. Otherwise, an excellent purchase.

Package well and every disk worked up to Last disc. Which is Season 6, disc #2. I've tried everything but the disc is not readable. A took a few months of mommy down time so I wanted to wait to give a full review after I was done. This is like getting to the end of the movie and orva game and not see what happened. I am very disappointed. I've seen a few episodes on YouTube tv but wanted to watch it in order.

This is one of the few programs I watched faithfully from series premier to series finale. Brilliant writing, top notch acting, good continuity.We all have a touch of John Becker in us, and Ted Danson nails it perfectly. The entire cast is in their element here; they are believable in their roles, and never flag once. Political Correctness goes out the window early on, and never returns, an element sorely missing in entertainment lately. Entertainment has lost its edge, despite the occasional step in that direction, but TV programming has been in a downward spiral for quite some time now, so watching these episodes is a true breath of fresh air.Several reviewers have complained about this product's packaging and visual quality, but one point is subjective and the other is moot; there are a lot of discs in this box, and two discs attach to each "page" if you will does pose a risk of cracking the discs as you remove them, so simply use caution while opening and you'll be alright. There is one lone disc, the final in the series which is loosely placed in the case, so simply using a generic paper CD sleeve suffices.As for video quality, the show is around twenty years old and technology has come a long way, so call this a time piece.Just like seeing a show like "The Munsters" in black and white. Take it for what it is, no unreasonable expectations, and this delivers.(Unrelated side note: It was during this program's run where I developed a heavy crush on Shawnee Smith; I simply adore her in this role.)Bottom line: Excellent program with a few minor packaging issues.
