A CBS sitcom that aired from 1997-2002 that starred Ted Danson as John Becker, an irascable, inner-city Bronx family-practitioner who is always irritated by something. His character is often bitter over the breakup of two marriages and steers away from long-term relationships as a result. His character is an atheist, cheap, stingy, a nicotene addict, drives a beat up clunker and lives in a mediocre apartment under a hooker. Becker found love in the last season with Chris (short for Christine), played by Nancy Travis. The two never got married. The show was cancelled in 2002 and in the last episode, Becker realized his own happiness.
Characters of the show:
Bob: a grungy, sleezy, lazy, pervert who resembles Fonzie from Happy Days and became Becker's aprtment supervisor in the last season. He has a crush on Reggie, the owner of the diner and his former classmate in high school.
Reggie: owned the diner next to Becker's office. Was the love interest of Bob. She is easily annoyed, desperate, sarcastic, lonely and bitter.
Margaret: the head of Becker's front office. She is a loving, harmonious, Christian woman who often advices Becker.
Linda: also works in Becker's front office. She is a bimbo, irrational, lazy and dates only convicts.
Jake: is blind and runs the newspaper stand in Reggie's diner. He is smart, analytical and sarcastic. Often close to Becker.
Chris: Becker's girlfriend in the last season who replaced Reggie as the diner's new owner. She is affectionate, compassionate and the only one who remotely understands Becker.

Becker was the only recent sitcom I actually enjoyed. Too bad it was cancelled without an official series finale.

Get the Becker mug.Before I came to this college, I read the previous 2 posts from a decade ago, and thought, "despite their obvious sarcasm and overall saltiness I think I'm really going to like this place." And I do. This place is great. There's no parties so you can actually sleep, you're not forced to do any social activities (although you're highly encouraged to do so), and it's really easy for introverts to make friends. The only suggestion I can make is to not rely on maintenance (they never do anything unless your parents send them an angry email) and don't go to maple hall. The phantom poopatrator lives there. Just. Don't. Try another hall.
Despite the frustration this place is great if you're here to actually learn and not party your organs to death and contribute to society, unlike the other two jackasses that gave descriptions of this place. You can do things here, you just have to care about other human beings ;)

Get the Becker mug.'glenn-becked': as in being asked to disprove a negative which originated in a lie.
President Barack Obama was 'glenn-becked' when he was accused or being a racist by Beck, or having to go to the trouble to disprove something patently false, as was the claim that he was not a 'native born' citizen, the lie was first thrown in planet 'Right Wing' back in the 2008 Presidential campaign.
The claim was totally proved as spurious, but the damage was already done, right winger extremists who listen to these shock jocks, Beck, Limbaugh, Savage, et al, wholeheartedly believed the lie and have been repeating it ever since.
So, Obama has been 'Glenn-Becked' several times.
Coming full circle, Glenn Beck himself is being 'glenn-becked' by being asked that he disprove the internet rumor that he raped and killed a girl in 1990

Get the glenn-becked mug.A Becker is a complete mess. Most virgin males experiance a Becker during their first attempt at sex. It is a quick, frustrating and bizare experience that leaves the female feeling confused and humbled.
Jane: How was your date with Scott?
Jill: I was Beckered last night.
Jane: What happened?
Jill: Well, after 3 minutes of sex in the wrong hole while he drooled on my back and blew ass, he flipped me over, punched me in the face, then forced himself to throw up on my tits. After it was over, he said "that'll be $5."
