- Becker
- Storyline
- Misanthropic Dr. John Becker runs a clinic in New York City. He is assisted by super-capable Margaret, and less-than-capable Linda--who's only kept on because no one else can stand the doctor. Becker's best (some would say only) friend is the blind Jake Malinak, who runs a newsstand in the diner across the street. The diner used to be run by Reggie Kostas, but it has been taken over by Chris Conner, a lady whom Becker fluctuates between lusting after and loathing. The diner is also frequented by Robert Benito, who is universally known as Bob and is the super at Becker's apartment, much to the doctor's regret.
