yay! - Rating: 5/5
I watched this show a lot of years ago, and still remembered it. I'm glad to see it released on DVD.
What, a "Full Screen" release????? - Rating: 5/5
Boy, I sure hope that they don't rip us off with this long awaited release by using a lousy 1:33 aspect ratio on all seasons!!! I've been watching the reruns in HD and guess what: they're WIDE SCREEN, real wide screen, not this horrible stretch-across-the-flat panel that turns my stomach, and the picture is beautiful and clear.
Becker is one of my absolutely favorite sitcoms, and I never tire of watching the reruns because the humor just never fades. For me, that's the trademark of top notch comedy all the way around.
Why networks have this uncanny ability to pull the plug on intelligent shows and leave the crap on forever is beyond me. Looking at the reviews, there are plenty people still out there with their brains intact, so why not cater to us for a change?
AND YOU HAD BETTER RELEASE THE SHOW IN WIDE SCREEN, YOU MORONS!!!!!!!!! - Does anybody know how we can lodge complaints to get the sets in wide screen?

A great sitcom that was moved around too much or it would have lasted longer.
A great first season for the show - Rating: 5/5
The first season of Becker is full of great episodes. The plot lines have substance in addition to just humor. As well, the characters play off each other very strongly from the beginning of the show. Some of the highlights of the season are:
"Activate your choices" the appearance of Dr. Becker's ex-wife, who has written a book about anger, and uses Becker as an example.
"Lucky Day" everything goes right for Becker, which upsets him for the entire day.
All the episodes are good, and I look forward to the other five seasons.
Release date April 1 2008. Better not be an April Fool's Joke. - Rating: 5/5
Love Becker. This has to be my favorite unreleased TV series. I am a little wary of that release date. Someone may be playing a joke on the internet and with Amazon which would no doubt spread to all sources. What is reassuring is that amazon shows the cover artwork of the DVD. Let's hope we haven't been duped. So at this stage I'm just crossing my fingers.
Is it strange that I love this show yet think Cheeers is nothing special?
