Perhaps Mr. Danson's character is supposed to be a voice of reason in a world gone mad. Or maybe he's just a nasty jerk with a stethoscope in his pocket. Does it matter? This is a so-called comedy without one genuine laugh.

Very sweet, very routine. It's Becker's outspoken darker side that's far more interesting, his driving hostility creating a tone that separates this series from most other sitcoms and a climate in which edgy humor can flourish.

This is a show that doesn't feel the need to constantly tap-dance. It dares to stomp a little bit, to have some sting, to risk some political incorrectness.

Political correctness aside, Becker's interpretations also serve as a platform from which controversial issues can be discussed. And it's in this way that this sitcom, like Becker himself, has something meaningful to offer.

Danson seemed ill-cast as a politically incorrect Bronx doctor. Yet he's settled into the role gracefully.
