* DyeHard: Creator/TedDanson's hair had gone completely white by the time ''Becker'' started. He dyed it brown so audiences wouldn't be jarred by his appearance.
* HeAlsoDid: Creator/MatthewWeiner, creator of ''Series/MadMen'', wrote for ''Becker'' and wrote the pilot for ''Mad Men'' as a Spec-Script while he was still there. The script didn't get produced for another eight years, but it did land him a job with David Chase working on ''Series/TheSopranos''. Since ''Becker'' is so totally different from those two, it's a bit jarring to see that this is where he got his start.
* RealLifeRelative: Creator/MarySteenburgen appears as one of Becker's patients. Irritated by her, Becker says [[SelfDeprecation he pities whatever guy that winds up marrying her]].
