His bedside manner is no manners at all! The scalpel sharp comedy stars Ted Danson as a bitter and abrasively outspoken doctor with a practice in the Bronx. Given to ranting about whatever got his goat while suffering the masses, Becker still maintains a sense of compassion and moments of self-deprecation. His arrogance is made even funnier by the fact that he lives in a run-down seedy apartment and spends his free time in a dive bar. Diverse characters and piercing reflections on every day life—the doctor is in!
