Becker was a television series which lasted from November, 1998 to January, 2004. A [[
At work, head nurse Margaret (Hattie Winston) was in charge, and the practise was assisted by Linda (Shawnee Smith), who could be [[The Ditz]] but was very popular with the patients. Becker spent most of his time at Reggie's Diner, owned by ex-model Reggie Kostas (Terry Farrell). Other characters included blind newspaper seller Jake Malinack (Alex Desert) and Bob (Saverio Guerra), an annoying old schoolfriend of Reggie's who [[Third Person Person|referred to himself in the third person]].
Line 24:
* [[The Ditz]]: Linda.
* [[Dr. Jerk]]: Guess who.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Flanderization]]: After a while, Becker was either an unbelievable jerk or a kind but ridiculously put-upon chap, never a balance of both.
* [[Friends Rent Control]]: Averted. Despite being a private practice Doctor, Becker still lives in a modest apartment. He also mentions that his car is "Held together with duct tape".
Line 34:
* [[The Internet Is for Porn]]: After Bob said that he was looking up something online, guess who replied, "Yeah, it must have been shocking to discover the internet wasn't just porn."
* [[Jade-Colored Glasses]]: It's all but outright stated that Becker was once a lot more idealistic before adopting his viewpoint of [[Humans Are Morons]]. And see the trope just below this...

** He's got a surprising amount of patience even with some of the stupid ones. Such as the woman who asked--after being told to only drink clear fluids until she got better--whether orange juice and milk would be okay. And then asked if vodka would be good for her, being a clear fluid.
** One episode states that the reason why Becker's office is where it is is so that he can help people that otherwise wouldn't have access to medical help.
