When did you start watching Becker?

[Chocoholic]

I must admit that when Becker first came out, I didn't think I'd enjoy it. I knew of the Cheers curse and I didn't think it would last long or be good. I avoided it for the first year or two. Well, one night during the 2nd or 3rd season, I was taking a little break from writing a term paper and I had the TV on in the background. Becker came on and I was watching a few minutes of it. I'm like "Man, this is funny!" and I watched the whole episode. It was the one when Becker tries to watch a movie, I think. I've been hooked ever since. I was even starting to look more forward to Becker than Everybody Loves Raymond on Monday nights. (I've always loved ELR, but it's starting to get a little stale, IMHO.) I think it's still one of the better sitcoms on TV.

On a side note, doesn't it seem that once a TV star has a long-running, hit series, it's hard for them to have another one? I don't see other people from Cheers having another hit TV show, except for Kelsey Grammer. No one from Wings or Seinfeld has had one yet either.

About the third episode in the first season I think. I liked it a lot. I'd still like to see the first couple of episodes some time.

Yea, I started watching last season to, when I saw that Nancy Travis was a guest star on it, and I've loved it ever since!:)

I watched it from the first season.
I could tell it was a little rough around the edges, but I liked what I saw. It just got better season after season.

But this year I have missed most of the episodes due to football on CBS and going against The Simpsons. I'm not thrilled with Chris replacing Reggie but I haven't gotten a chance to give her character a chance.

If Becker goes back to Monday I'll watch it every week. That new show Still Standing is a pretty weak, contrived, been there sitcom.

Bring Becker Back To Monday.

I agree with you there. On the brightside though the ratings are doing better than they were at the beginning of this season. Becker was No. 26 last week.

I think it was from the very first episode.
