Becker
Created by Dave Hackel
On CBS
A network sitcom built around a curmudgeonly doctor's acerbic observations about modern life, sustained by high-energy banter and the weekly reset of a medical practice.
Becker is a dedicated, outspoken and talented doctor with a gruff exterior. While he tends to offend those who try to get close to him, he is extremely dedicated to his medical practice in the Bronx, N.Y., where he always goes the extra mile to help those in need. But Dr. John Becker looks at the world around him and sees a society gone mad, full of incongruities and just plain wrong thinking. And he has no qualms about saying anything that comes to mind – anything.
