Get A Daily Dose of Humor When The Three-Disc DVD Set Debuts April 1
From CBS Home Entertainment And Paramount Home Entertainment

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. - February 19, 2008 - Quirky and funny, the first season of BECKER, a fan-favorite comedy that chronicles the life of a sarcastic, yet decent-hearted doctor, in and out of the office, makes its highly-anticipated DVD debut April 1 from CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Entertainment. 

Emmy® Award winner* Ted Danson ("Cheers") stars as Dr. John Becker, a cantankerous, but accomplished physician whose bedside manner is really no manners at all.  Amazed at the inconsistencies and just plain backward-thinking in the world, Becker feels he can dispense diagnoses even when no one asks.  He has no qualms about saying what comes to mind and is always quick to point out others' mistakes.  However, his friends and colleagues recognize the heart beneath the hate and accept his gruff demeanor for what it is. 

Led by Danson, BECKER's ensemble cast includes Terry Farrell, Hattie Winston, Shawnee Smith, Alex Désert and Saverio Guerra.  The first season also featured guest stars including Dick Van Dyke, Alice Krige, Bill Cosby, Kevin James and Ray Romano to name a few.  BECKER: The First Season includes all 22 episodes from the hilarious first season and will be available for the suggested retail price of $39.99 US and $42.99 CAN.
