What's this, an intelligent sitcom?

Becker is everyman; he says right out what the rest of us probably think most of the time. Reggie is his female equivalent, which is why they would never get together, relationship-wise. They're just too much alike, though Reggie hides it pretty well. Here in Australia we've only just come to the Chris eps without Reggie, so I've avoided reading many of the other comments. The show works from all angles thanks to an always masterful script, much like 'Everyone Loves Raymond', the only other current US comedy I like. Margaret is a sweetie; Linda drives me crazy most of the time. Jake is one of a kind and Bob; well, we've all known a Bob in our time. Put them all together and you have one cool AND intelligent sitcom!
