Subject: "Becker" (CBS)

Written By: Hairspray on 11/23/03 at 01:39 p.m.

Starring: Ted Danson

While not officially cancelled yet, the show's season episode order was not expanded beyond 13 episodes.

I predict the show will be officially cancelled thereafter.

I wondered for a while what had happened with "Reggie" in terms of whether she would be coming back.

For those who may not remember, she left a note and "ran away" after realizing she'd made a mistake when she slept with "Becker". This all happened immediately the morning after and we never got to see her again.

It seemed to me that was a pretty lame story line for someone who was a major component of the show.

Then I found out the actress who played "Reggie", Terry Farrell, was fired!

I was surprised and disappointed because I liked her much better than the "Chris" character. She was also prettier and less annoying.

There's much speculation as to the reason why Terry Farrell was fired but I don't really care. However, in my opinion, the show suffered with the loss of her character.

Another blow to the show was when "Bob" (Saverio Guerra) disappeared (took a vacation). "Bob" was a colorful character which brought much needed comic relief to the show. They've added sort of a "replacement" character called "Hector". Unfortunately, "Bob" is irreplaceable.

Opinions?

It seems like the show is falling apart. It's a shame really I liked it - Bob was funny and I like the blind man as well.

The pretty girl was quite sexy - but a bit annoying.

As I recall, I think Terry Farrell wanted more money so they canned her instead.  Then they replaced her with that hideous Nancy Travis.

Terry was awesome.  She had just the rioght personality in addition to that rockin' bod.  :D

As for show cancellation, it is about time.  This was just a vehicle for more Ted Danson drivel anyway.

I haven't watched it this season, maybe it is a good thing.  I think it will go away without Reggie or Bob.  Those two were hilarious.

The worst part of that show is the extra annoying Shawnee Smith. At least Nancy Travis was more appealing to the eyes than Terry Ferrell. Star Trek DSN shouldn't have killed off her character Jadzia Dax. The actress that replaced her was terrible.

Nancy Travis better looking than Terry Farrell?  No way, unless you like bug-eyes.  Are you a big Susan Sarandon fan too?

And Terry Ferrell has a MUCH nicer figure.  ;D

Terry is too tall and too manly to suit my needs. I have fell for Nancy Travis since her work as a miniskirted maven in "Internal Affairs". And she is a better match for Ted Danson. Nothing against Farrell other than what I already told.
