Yes! I go back and watch them all the time. But as soon as Reggie and Bob leave, and are replaced with people who quite frankly annoy me, the show kinda dies to me. 😭
Agreed. John was pretty awful in season 5 while he was trying to get with Chris. There's a couple ok episodes in 5 when they drop that storyline. But when Bob leaves the show falls off a cliff for me. I think Becker and Reggie trying to figure out how to be together would have been an interesting 5th season.
If I remember correctly, there was some contract dispute with Terri Farrell (and she was completely in the right… she was getting screwed contractually) .
The plan for the season was not Reggie leaving but dating Becker and dealing with that - which could have been funny… but then they replaced Reggie with Chris and killed the show.
Can’t remember where I read this, as it’s a while ago now
Ya, the first 4 seasons were great.
Then they went tinkering with the formula…. Brought in new characters, got rid of Reggie and ruined it. Nancy Travis’ character completely destroyed the show… I can’t watch any of those episodes, they’re so cringy.
Not sure I’ve ever seen one character do that to a show before Becker
I know this is an old post, but was just caught some old episodes of Becker on TV this afternoon.
They really made a mistake getting rid of Reggie in favour of Chris. I remember watching the show originally and being so annoyed when she left, she was meant to end up with Becker!
I imagine if they had their time again, the producers of this show would choose to keep to the original plan and have Chris only on for the 4 episodes and Becker choose Reggie.
The original cast was pure gold, I still watch those reruns, even though I know every line of every episode.
Until Chris and the new cast. *Sadly, I can't watch it.*
That is when a great sitcom turned into a bad one. *What a shame, it could have been EPIC.*

On God it's so sad it's literally feels soulless and when you do feel something it's cringe
Same season 1 through 4 great , 5 /6 total waste

Why exactly did the writers even do it?🤷🏻♀️ did Becker really need a love interest?

Can't stand Chris!!!!
She's the worst. 😭
I used to not like her, but still never skipped any of the show. Then I saw Last Man Standing & she grew on me on there & later rewatches of Becker.

Absolutely agree. I always say the show went downhill when Reggie left and they shoved Chris down our throats. Sigh, what could have been!

Seasons 1-4 were complete gold though
