Becker

Becker is an American situation comedy that originally aired on CBS from 1998 to 2004. The show starred Ted Danson as the title character, Dr. John Becker, and took place in Bronx, New York, where Becker operates a small medical practice. Although a good physician, Becker is constantly annoyed with his patients, co-workers, friends, and practically everything and everyone else in his world; yet Becker's temper belies a more complex character, his rants often being his way to keep the world from seeing whom he really is — a compassionate idealist afraid to appear emotionally vulnerable.

As a result of his outspoken nature, Becker is inaccessible to most people that do not know him. His patients and friends are nonetheless loyal, because Becker portrays a kind-hearted side that shows that, despite his cantankerous personality, he really does care about them.
