Becker
A verb that describes the act of lowering one's expectations for something in order to prevent against the disappointment of them not being met. It is derived from the popular TV sitcom of the same name (Becker) in which the titular character played by Ted Danson lived by a mantra of "no expectations, no disappointment." He would repeat that phrase to anyone who was attempting to get him to be more optimistic about something or just life in general, which was against his nature. He would also use the phrase to remind himself to lower his expectations when they were high.

Becker
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.
