Becker is an American television sitcom that ran from 1998 to 2004 on CBS. Set in the New York City borough of The Bronx, the show starred Ted Danson as John Becker, a misanthropic doctor who operates a small practice and is constantly annoyed by his patients, co-workers, friends, and practically everything and everybody else in his world. He is opinionated, cheap, smokes, and doesn't care what any one else thinks. Despite everything, his patients and friends are loyal because Becker genuinely cares about them. The series was produced by Paramount Network Television, previous producers of NBC's Cheers, also starring Danson.
For the first four seasons, the main characters were:
Becker, a Harvard Medical School graduate, runs a neighborhood medical practice. He is easily annoyed by things such as a flickering street lamp, noisy neighbors, the couple having very loud sex in the apartment above him, or his numerous failed attempts to quit smoking. Becker has a personal superstition that "All midgets are bad luck, whenever I see one, something bad happens to me". He has been married and divorced twice and is very stingy. He is politically liberal, though he hates political correctness and has had trouble with the IRS. He is an atheist, however, holds an odd view of God, which can be characterized by this quote. Margaret: "Interesting...you're being persecuted by a God you don't believe in?" Becker: "That's why he's after me, Margaret."
