Actually I'd much rather have Becker than Raymond (though the former is still crap).
Let's face it, the immense majority of sitcoms are utter fucking predictable unfunny rubbish. Top of my head (and from the girlfriend's relentless viewing of such channels as abc1 and Paramount Comedy): Roseanne, Mad About You, King of Queens, Hope and Glory, Home Improvement, The Golden Girls, 8 Simple Rules, Less Than Perfect, Rodney, Ellen... all deeply unfunny, formulistic, boring, predictable shite.
