Terry Farrell (Reggie) will not be returning to Becker this season.

Awww...that's a shame...

But she has a record of abandoning shows before they come to their "natural" conclusion!

For the record, I rather like the show...Danson makes you completely forget the "Sam Malone" character ever existed. :) :up:

Hello from the other side of the pond. A quick question, how many series have there been of Becker so far. It never really took off over here, and the only channel to pick it up was Paramount Comedy. So far I think we have had two series, will this be the third?

According to this site, 4 seasons have aired so far and the 5th is about to begin. :)

Excellent, looking forward to a lot of Becker still to come then. Thanks.

One of the entertainment publications was praising her for leaving a show that has about reached it's limits.

I only started watching Becker I think last year or maybe the year before so I'm late into the game but have really enjoyed it. Between it and Raymond I sure do get a lot of laughs!

Wow...check this out!

I was just now looking at my TiVo suggestions and one was a Conan O'Brien Show...

There was NO description for the show, but TiVo picked it up anyway.

The main guest? Ted Danson! And this SHORTLY after we had discussed Becker here! (It's a rerun, but I didn't see it before.)

Nice coincidence...or is that "synchronicity"?

That just plain sucks. I am going to miss leering at Terry Farrell. I'm guessing this will be the beginning of the end for Becker. We probably won't see it after this season.
Does anyone know if they are bringing Nancy Travis' character back? I sure hope not. I always found her attractive (until Becker), but her character was just ungodly annoying.

This time, it wasn't her choice. I read in the Los Angeles Times that the producers released her without warning....

No kidding! Wow...that's a little unusual, though not unheard-of.

A shame she won't get some sort of send-off at least, though.

'Becker' Gets Love Interest
Mon Aug 5, 1:22 PM ET

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) - Ted Danson's grumpy "Becker" is finally getting a real love interest.

Nancy Travis, who's already been on a few episodes of the CBS sitcom, gets the part.

"I'm excited. I really am," Danson told reporters. "I can't wait to see Becker chase a girl. He's never done that. He'll be terrible. I imagine he'll be terrible."

While Travis joins the show, another actress is leaving.

Terry Farrell's character, Reggie, has been written out of the show. Even though it wasn't her decision, Danson thinks this change is good.

"It's different circumstances, but I don't think 'Cheers' would have lasted as long as it did if there hadn't been a sea-change like that," Danson said. "I think it just naturally energizes a show."

He compares it with the changes at "Cheers" when Shelley Long left and Kirstie Alley came on board to butt heads with his Sam Malone character at the famous Boston watering hole.

Danson hasn't made a movie in years but he's fine with that because he loves television work.

"Yes, it'd be wonderful, be a fabulous movie star," he said. "But my really, really, really, by myself truth is, I like being home. I like going home at night and eating with my family. I do love this format. I do love making people laugh."

Another change for "Becker," now entering its fifth season, is it moves to Sunday nights in the fall.
