Trivia:
In the first few episodes of the first season, Linda (Shawnee Smith is seen wearing a lab coat, even though neither Dr. Becker nor Nurse Maragret wear one. This is because Smith was pregnant at the time and the lab coat was to hide her pregnancy. moreQuotes:

I have only recently started to watch it, since i moved to Cali. I only have antenna TV. I watch it all the time and I laugh my a$$ off every time. I hope it last for a long while. I am going to a live taping of the show so I am quite excited about that one. This show is great, Becker is the kinda of guy you'd never really want to bump into but it hilarious to watch. Two Thumbs up!!!!
