Becker background

Becker

The misadventures of Dr. John Becker, a grumpy doctor who navigates his daily life with a perpetual sense of disdain, often finding himself in humorous situations at his favorite diner and beyond.

Dr. John Becker, a misanthropic doctor, runs a clinic in New York City, assisted by Margaret Wyborn and Linda, who is less skilled but kept on due to Becker's tolerance. His best friend is Jake Malinak, a blind newsstand owner across the street from the diner. The diner, previously run by Reggie Kostas, is now managed by Chris Conner, whom Becker simultaneously dislikes and has romantic feelings for. Regular customers include Bob Benito, the super of Becker's apartment, who is widely known as Robert.
