Rent Becker: Series 1 (1998)

Take two aspirin before you see the doctor! Dr. John Becker, who operates a small medical practice on the Bronx, is annoyed with his patients, co-workers, and practically everything else in the world. But don't let the curmudgeonly demeanor fool you. As his blind newsstand friend Jake (Alex Desert) and beautiful dinner owner Reggie (Terry Farrell) would tell you, the rants of the outrageous physician mask a softer side, which he only occasionally displays to his nurse Margaret (Hattie Winston) and wacky office worker Linda (Shawnee Smith).
