Becker (Ted Danson), Reggie (Terry Farell), Hattie Wilson, and Alex Desert all had great chemistry, and their lines bounced off of each other very well. They were funny. The episodes with only Becker, Reggie, Hattie, and Alex are great.
Unfortunately, you had creepy Bob (Saverio) the pervert, and Linda (Shawnee Smith) who sounded like nails grating over a chalkboard. Bob and Linda were buzz-kills. Creepy Bob was always making perverted remarks to the various female characters. He was the building janitor. Every time he was on the show, I wondered how many of the tenants had been raped and murdered in that building? Could Linda ever pass a drug test? Would any professional ever hire or keep a loser like Linda?
After season 4, Reggie left, and was replaced by the incredibly overly smug Nancy Travis. She has nothing funny about her. Later on, in season 5, the big gigantic slob from LOST joined the cast. He was even less funny than Bob, but in a sad and depressing unfunny way.
Becker was pretty good in the first four seasons, especially when Linda and Bob were not present.
