One of TV's greatest

Despite its unpopularity, I find this the most hilarious show on TV. The acting, writing and directing are all brilliant.

Becker is a single doctor living in the Bronx. He works in a small clinic with his two assistants Margaret and Linda. He frequents a diner run by Reggie and the blind magazine salesman, Jake. The sleazy, greasy Bob also visits there.

At one point, Becker sees all his friends in the diner. "Oh look, it's everyone I know. How sad is my life?" was his reaction.

The witty humour isn't the only aspect I find great about Becker. The drama isn't spoilt by one-liners, either. But the writers seem to keep the drama without destroying the humour of the show.

"Becker" is up there in my favourite TV shows list along with "Frasier", "Cheers" and "The Simpsons".
