Becker (TV Series) DNR (2004) User Reviews

Bye Becker

[studioAT · 9/10 · 29 May 2020]

The final episode of 'Becker' is exactly what the show had throughout its 6 year run - warm hearted and funny.

Lovely to see the good doctor somewhat content at the end, and I really enjoyed the two in-jokes.

'Becker' may not rate as one of the best sitcoms ever, but to me it's deserving of more acclaim.

I wish it had gone longer.

A Fitting Goodbye

[mjf-12295 · 10/10 · 12 December 2020]

I agree with studioAT. This episode was warm-hearted, sweet, funny goodbye to a series that was gone too soon and hasn't had more acclaim.

The last scene was especially heartfelt. As the camera fades, it shows John and Chris on the fire escape in an embrace looking out at the street. Other things I loved were: Jake leaving for college in Chicago and thus the rest of the cast said goodbye to him, in lieu of the audience, the appearance of Ted Danson's real-life wife having an appearance and John saying, "I pity the man who's married to her", John looking at patient Nielsen's numbers and saying, "these numbers weren't bad".

I'm glad I've been able to watch this wonderful show in syndication and to develop an appreciation for it.
