i get a kick out of the many character on the show . unfortunately ted danson can not help but add his personal political view to the script and a a result he lose about half of his potential audience . the co star of the show deserve good . start a service business in any small town america and then bash half of the town populous . not a good idea if you want to succeed in any business . ted be a good actor but apparently so independently wealthy he doesn not need a large television audience . he selfishly discard the other cast member forget they add more value to the show than he ever could . re cast the becker character with anyone who can act and at the same time keep his political mouth shut and the exist cast of character could carry the show and without ted danson . terry farrell be an excellent actress . hattie winston have a great deal of talent . shawnee smith character be adorable . the other cast member add so much to the show you can almost ignore ted danson snotty little remark about the republican party and conservative in general . wise up ted . it not all about you .
