I watched it, or at least the first half, specifically to see Dave. I
check Becker out every now and again just to see if the show's gotten
any better. It hasn't. I know some people in this newsgroup like the
show, but I just can't get into it. I find it very hit and miss (with
the emphasis on miss). And this year they seem to have added this new
idiotic character who works at the coffee shop, and he's just not
funny at all. It's no worse than the average Friends/Will & Grace/Drew
Carey shlock, but it's not any better either.
What made last night's show especially depressing was that every time
Dave or Ted Danson was on the screen, I couldn't help but think how
much better their previous shows--which I still watch nightly, though
I've seen nearly every episode of both--are than this stuff. Ahhhh,
the 20th century. We hardly knew ye.

newsletter) watched it and here's what she sent to me about it:
Dave Foley played a character named Owen, a man about to hang himself
when
he is happened upon by the series' blind character Jake (Alex Desert),
who
is lost. Owen agrees to help Jake find his way back home, and when
they
arrive at the diner (one of the show's two major sets), the three
diner
characters, Jake, Reggie (Terry Farrell), and Bob (Saverio Guerra),
try to
talk Owen out of killing himself.
The ending is nothing to brag about, although you have to assume that
the
time constraints of the show don't allow for much more. Still, the
feeling
I got from seeing Dave in a new role was great, especially because the
writers obviously took some care with it.

You have to get into it, is all. It's similar to NR in that it has subtle
running gags. I remember watching the pilot and hating it, but after a few
episodes I ended up liking it a lot. Season Four has been a dramatic
improvement over Three, but Season One had the best episodes IMO. Still damn
good, though.
I just think it's funny that there haven't been more than about six or seven
instances where the whole cast has been in one scene..

That's Bob (Saverio Guerra). He's been on the show since the second or third
episode. He was a frequently recurring character in the first two seasons, and
became a regular in the third. (Guerra was also the bartender on Buffy.) Bob
doesn't work at the shop, he just hangs out there a lot. He became the super in
Becker's building last year.

Becker tends to be a lot more earthy than any of those shows. Things don't
happen for gags, and when they do, they drive the story forward well..
