Becker is a consistently funny sitcom that does not rely on big story lines or love triangles in order to keep the audience laughing. Instead it is a character based at times ensemble piece where the laughs come from the characters and their situations which is refreshing.
Although it is Ted Dansons show all the other characters have their moments and can be relied upon to have a great deadpan line in every episode. The characters interaction with Becker is also strong and it doesn't always feel like it's all centred around Danson. The great Terry Farrell was the strongest supporting character in the first four seasons but Shawnee Smith and Hattie Winston take up some of the slack after her departure.
Overall this is a great,not often recognised comedy gem that sadly never made it's mark on UK audiences.
