Wow!
This episode is fantastic, an instant ten out of ten in my book.
The reason for this is that it manages to do everything right - it's funny, it's engaging, it's well written. And the ending is surprisingly very sad and moving. It takes you by surprise - this is 'Becker', a studio sitcom. They don't normally make you cry, but this show has the capability to.
Moments like this only work if the main character is three dimensional and flawed, and Ted Danson plays Becker to perfection here. It makes it all the more impactful because we know the character doesn't normally do things like this.
Excellent.
