The best sitcom in history

crash21

Becker is, in my opinion, the best sitcom of all time. You would have thought his character in this show was based on my own personality. Actually, when I introduce myself to someone, I ask them "have you ever see the show Becker?" Becker was also, as far as I know, the only sitcom in history to ever do holiday episodes right. Typically, nothing is lamer than a Christmas sitcom episode, but the writers for Becker did this all right. Christmas episodes are typically all about lame Christmas miracles and Santa Clause, Becker's version of Christmas episodes were actually made to be as funny as the regular episodes.

Although the last two seasons did get all screwed up when Paramount became ignorant and turned Becker into a soap opera at the end of the 4th Season, and then replaced Reggie with Chris in Season 5, and Bob with huge Hector in Season 6. Which, in turn, frequently screw up reruns when they show nothing but the later episodes.

Oh well, at least now Paramount is slowly releasing the good Becker episodes on DVD.
