Summary:

Dr. John Becker, who operates a small medical practice in the Bronx, is annoyed with his patients, co-workers, and practically everything else in the world. But don't let the curmudgeonly demeanor fool you. As his blind newsstand friend, Jake, and beautiful diner owner, Reggie, would tell you, the rants of the outrageous physician mask a softer side, which he only occasionally displays to his nurse, Margaret, and wacky office worker, Linda.
