I liked it, one of the old situation comedies we used to do, of the 70s
people tired of them, we don't really do them anymore much |

all comedies and comedians have a shelf life

By:
yep they obv made her up to look that bit older (my excuse!!)

That series ran for only 8 years. Funny, it seemed much much longer.

I must say I was sceptical about that story which Ken posted until I realized Sky News had lifted it from New Zealand's New Idea magazine.

Were stuck in 2-channel land in the late 70s which didnt start till 4 o'clock, liked anything that was on - Terry & June was good as was its almost identical twin George & Mildred

of this genre my favourite was Bless This House, with Sid getting into various scrapes with his next door neighbour and pal Trev.

it was funny, admit it! It really wasn't. It was absoulte sihte. Just watched an episode to see if I was wrong and it was dire. Now, "Ever Decreasing Circles", on around the same time, maybe a bit later. That's what you call comedy. |

That genre formed my view of middle class life -- come home from the office to a large house and immediately pour yourself an extremely generous scotch.

The Bless This House film was the high point of UK family sitcoms imo, with none other than Terry and June featuring as Sid and Jean's neighbours. Trev was now the wonderful Peter Butterworth (the site owner in Carry On Camping), while Sid and Jean's drippy son was replaced by UK porn legend Robin Askwith, the man they called the Ron Jeremy of the Home Counties.

Ken
, will be calling you on another thread. |
|
By:
actually i agree with Kenny , it wasn't that funny at all , it was complete junk
 just mildy amusing like a lot of daft stuff from that era , sitcoms like Butterflies were more watchable |
|
By:
Terry and June was your standard 70's comedy, never uproariously funny or original ,but I watched it
the trouble is one can only tell the same joke so many times, before it comes unfunny any comedy which makes somebody laugh is valid we need more humour in this world ps I won't blame you for liking it Moonbeam, our comedy tastes are our own but yes it had a sort of cosy warmth about it |
|
By:
My favourite comedy series of all time, for originality was 'The League Of Gentleman'
although that came later...the first two series, which had some surreal plot, unbelievable After that, there was a decline, because again one can only tell same joke so many times Terry and June seemed to go on for aeons but I watched it...something to watch, a sort of cosy normality about it but I could well understand the younger viewers finally starting to rebel I would say there were better series at the time...but it served its purpose for some |
|
By:
The Fall and Rise of Reggie Perrin, a classic of course
|
|
By:
just my opinion

and others (see above)

For me The Phil Silvers show was the high end of comedy from the early tv era and still stands up well today. Whatever happened to the likely lads another good 70s standard bearer
|
|
By:
Sergeant Bilko ...I had many a laugh over that, in B & W john
and the Likely Lads...especially when he told how he came to divorce his wife in Germany Rising Damp, I laughed at that a lot and of course early seventies Monty Python, very high originality there the shows had some hit and miss sketches but advanced the cause of comedy, and had the wonderful Terry Gilliam animations |
|
By:
What I think comedy is, it is the comedian or the situation which is the joke.
You look at them and laugh They basically tell this same joke in a never ending of variations and combinations as long as it is not predictable it works When it becomes predictable, the same joke has been told too many times I think this is why comedy has to keep changing and moving on, although sometimes it is cyclic I think this even applies to stand ups, the best are funny in themselves just my opinion |
|
By:
Mrs Brown's Boys quite popular now
the joke, basically a man playing a woman....in a certain style, it has it's own originality the same joke over and over again, that is what comedy is |
|
By:
Phil Silvers Show and Reggie Perrin are a bit special imo. Having watched Phil Silvers over and over, I have also been enjoying the spinoff, if that's what it was - Car 54 Where are you? lately. It's a bit weaker but Joe E Ross (Mess Sgt. Ritzik in Phil Silvers) is very watchable. His partner, Hermann Munster and The Stomach in Phil Silvers, is good, and they kept Ritzik'z wife Emma as Joe E Ross's wife.

Terry and June ran from 1979 to 1987.
Is basically an eighties show. And it was sh1te. |
|
By:
I think it ran longer than that it may have changed channels. I think it started around 1970.
