utter_nonsense's rating
I never watched this show when it was running, but I happened to catch a few episodes in rerun, and now I seek out every rerun I can find. The show is very good, especially for its much more accurate view of life in New York compared to such fantasy shows as Sex and the City and Friends. The diner the characters frequent feels like a real NY diner, and Becker's apartment is appropriately cramped and dilapidated. I also like that the show casually mixes black, white and Latin characters.
Ted Danson gives a very good performance as an inversion of his classic Cheers character. Where Sam Malone was the ultimate affable lady's man, Danson's Becker is a bitter loser with few friends and a miserable outlook on life. The other characters feed into this, and the back-and-forth is great. I didn't expect to like it, but I did.
