Becker: The Complete Series

Becker (Ted Danson) is a superficially grumpy but ultimately compassionate family doctor that serves poorer folks.Most of the action takes place in either Becker's practice or the local diner run by Reggie (Terry Ferrell). Becker is acerbic, opinionated, and doesn't mind loudly sharing that. The other characters each have their idiosyncratic traits. All are perfectly cast and funny.The show is hysterical and is truly one of the underrated sitcoms of the time.Sadly, there's no BluRay transfer, only DVD. It's watchable but it's a constant reminder of how bad broadcast television and 480p video looks today. But aside from that, totally worth watching.

Becker TV show , whats not to like about Ted Danson . May not be as funny as it was 25+ years ago . Wife and I like have copies of TV shows we have watched and not just the ability to stream them . It is a DVD set , not much else to say .

The nostalgia is strong with this one. I laughed, I cringed, I remembered what life was like when people still used payphones and no one texted their doctor. The DVDs play perfectly and the series matches my sarcasm and unresolved emotional issues.Highly recommend if you miss sharp humor, late ’90s vibes, and a main character who speaks fluent frustration.

Great cast! Excellent acting and the writers did an amazing job with all the actors' lines, very enjoyable series, so many laughs. Rather surprised and a little sad that Reggie was written out of the final series, although, at the end Chris and Becker were a good team. The case the discs come in is not the greatest design (see video), the 3 plastic frames that the discs attaché to are flimsy and discs awkward to get out and put back. Otherwise, an excellent purchase.

This was the worst packaging job ever. 40% of the little plastic tabs that are suppose to keep the disc in place broke and the DVD's slid all over the place in the package, I'm surprised they weren't all damaged. I don't know how Amazon allows this kind of garbage from sellers. I had to buy a separate DVD case to keep the DVD's in because if you try to use what they send you then you will just land up scratching and destroying the DVD's The T.V. series itself is hilarious and I love watching it, great stuff. The actual DVD's were a "5" rating for clarity and sound but the rating for the packaging is a "0" hence why I only gave this a " "4" and that was being overly generous considering I has to spend more money to have something to actually store the DVD's in.

Excellent color and texture to every series. No grainy or faded or dark shots. Great value if you are a Becker fan.

This is one of the few programs I watched faithfully from series premier to series finale. Brilliant writing, top notch acting, good continuity.We all have a touch of John Becker in us, and Ted Danson nails it perfectly. The entire cast is in their element here; they are believable in their roles, and never flag once. Political Correctness goes out the window early on, and never returns, an element sorely missing in entertainment lately. Entertainment has lost its edge, despite the occasional step in that direction, but TV programming has been in a downward spiral for quite some time now, so watching these episodes is a true breath of fresh air.Several reviewers have complained about this product's packaging and visual quality, but one point is subjective and the other is moot; there are a lot of discs in this box, and two discs attach to each "page" if you will does pose a risk of cracking the discs as you remove them, so simply use caution while opening and you'll be alright. There is one lone disc, the final in the series which is loosely placed in the case, so simply using a generic paper CD sleeve suffices.As for video quality, the show is around twenty years old and technology has come a long way, so call this a time piece.Just like seeing a show like "The Munsters" in black and white. Take it for what it is, no unreasonable expectations, and this delivers.(Unrelated side note: It was during this program's run where I developed a heavy crush on Shawnee Smith; I simply adore her in this role.)Bottom line: Excellent program with a few minor packaging issues.

Received in excellent condition. I am enjoying the quality of this item.
