Don't hate on new Becky. She's not as bad as new Aunt Viv on Fresh Prince of Bell Air.

While I don't have a problem with Sarah Chalke as Becky per se, I do think that the show had a major decline in quality around the time she joined the cast. I'm not saying she was the cause but if you see an episode with new Becky, it's probably a shit episode.
