one of the most unfairly malign programme of all time and terry and june be also one of the most popular sitcom of the 70 and 80 . it start life a happy ever after and but when eric merriman decide he do not want to write any more and it change into this and hence the dropping of aunt lucy and the fletcher become the medford . yes and it be cosy and domestic and middle class stuff while the plot run the gamut of clichés from the bos come to dinner and the vicar organise a jumble sale and and unwanted relative come to stay for the weekend . it be certainly not wouldreadful lazy comedy . a for it be not clever and it be not mean to be . it be funny and well perform and and that be enough . i too love the alternative boom of the 80 ( spit image and black adder and the young one etc . ) but also enjoy conventional stuff such a this . if nothing else and it provide alternative comedy with something to be an alternative to . i find it sad though when the like of ben elton take against both this and benny hill . well and family orient comedy have all but vanish from our screen and but where have it leave u . take a look at the late t. v. schedule . all soap and reality dross . the few comedy leave be aim at teenager and meaning they be jam pack with swearing and bodily function joke and and explicit sexual reference . and they be not remotely funny either . the alternative comedy boom be good in many way and but have a dark side . it make conventional sitcom appear old fashion and drive away talented writer and performer such a spike milligan and and ultimately lead to such unspeakable drivel a little britain and tittybangbang ( heaven help u ) . if it ain not break and do not fix it .
