It's most likely better known to average TV viewers these days for being the sitcom that Ted Danson starred in-between Cheers and The Good Place. It these days, isn't ubiquitously syndicated like Everybody Loves Raymond and The King of Queens despite airing in the coveted Monday night slot following those two shows.

It was last seen being name-dropped in Bojack Horseman, with the titular main character using it as an example of a show that had everything needed to be good: cast, writers, time slot, etc., but for whatever reason just couldn't put it together.

It has fallen into obscurity , unfortunately.

Becker and the depth of some of the episodes are much , much better than anything that was turned out by Raymond or King of Queens...on a personal level I think Raymond and King...are grossly overrated shows...

Becker through and through...

It's been years since I've seen Becker in syndication. My local affiliate, when I lived in Florida, would air the series in the evenings, but I haven't seen it since 2006-ish.

I'm down under , Becker has been airing on and off for a year or so now which is good...I always enjoy watching it when I'm home , just wish it was aired in the evening...its on here in the morning and afternoon...
