Terry and June

Just watching one of these on itv3.
This used to be one of the biggest shows on TV. TBH, its hard to see why it was. It looks very dated, now. Also, Terry Scott wasn't that good, fluffing some lines. June Whitfield was good though.
From what I remember, I preferred Hugh and I to Terry and June.

because when it was on, it was of its date
I've never understood the backing for June Whitfield- Terry Scott was the energy of Terry and June and June Whitfield seemed to dial her performance in more and more and just let him get on with it, which rather undermined his performance.
Times were changing in those days I suppose!
Terry and June on the other hand is one of the worst sitcoms I've ever seen, couldn't stand it as a kid and having had to sit through it a couple of times lately my feelings haven't changed!
George And Mildred pre-dated Terry And June by 3 years
IMO they're both great
We'll have to agree to disagree;)
I love quite a few 70s sitcoms but T&J was just awful (IMO).
When it got to the point of the young boy mumbling (much to the amusement of the studio audience), I gave up.
May have been funny once, but not any more.
In another, he mocked June's parents, saying her father was like Frankenstein (or his monster, one assumes) and that her Mummy was like a horror-film Mummy (does zombie-like walk).
In one, they both visited a health farm, and while June got a sexy male masseur, Terry got a massage from an ugly old bloke who knocked him about-while in another episode, Terry recounts how he has three times in a row got the same wrong number, saying the first time, he got told "Get knotted," the second one got told, "Get stuffed," and that the third time, "they suggested something physically impossible!"
Despite all the stick the show gets, it did have its funny moments.
Actually it began im '79 so it was practically an 80s show
Well either way I didn't think it was up to much, don't think the decade it was made in makes any difference really.

June is a great actress who - quite understandably - is hugely popular with the British public.
A television documentary about her was broadcast again by the BBC at the end of May of this year.

They were both awful.
Sitcoms with a limited 'sit', laboured 'com' and no real point.
Tastes have changed, I find most of the fashionable comedy stuff on any the moment not funny at all even the ones the luvvies rave about like The Office, Little Britain etc. I am sure someone must like them as they have had reasonable viewing figures. Terry and June and George and Mildred got much higher viewing figures in their day.
Don't know if was that programme but I seem to recall her saying that she still makes a very good living in supporting roles and was never bothered about stardom.
Of course, I may be wrong. My wife says I usually am
Terry and June was practicly in the Eighties. It started in 1979.
I made the exact same point above:D
What would they have got today though with rather more channels and other distractions?
Or the figures some of the modern sitcoms would have attracted with 3 channels, no PCs etc?
