Just Good Friends update

I thought I had posted this quite some time ago until someone requested "the" Just Good Friends disc. Origianlly it was from VHS recordings that fit onto 1 disc. This is nice crisp digital now, has been, and just barely fits onto 2 discs.....with one exception. One of the most popular sitcoms from the 80's, certainly a decade of many great ones, had been held back from commercial release for many years due to the old licensing issues. It's one thing to feature a song in the background for a television broadcast and quite another thing altogether when it comes to commercial release. The original broadcast falls under the public performance licensing pretty much the same as playing a song from a CD on the radio. Make several hundred thousand DVD's of the broadcast things get very complicated very fast.
Just Good Friends, of course, is the story of Vince and Penny finding themselves reunited 5 years after Vince stood her up at the altar. In the first 2 series we saw a continuation of their very rocky and mismatched relationship and it ended with Penny heading off to Paris and a new job. That was the end of it, but John Sullivan decided to write a prequel and it was presented as a Christmas special in 1984. It was very cleverly done in that the end of the last episode was the beginning of the prequel and the prequel ended with the start of the very first episode. The prequel version here is not the DVD release with about 8 minutes of dialogue removed due to licensing restrictions. 
When Carla Lane ended Butterflies after 3 series with Leonard going off to New York City to work, she received a lot of complaints about how the story ended so a few years later she wrote a 4th series that had Ria ending the relationship. John Sullivan went through a similar reaction with Just Good Friends and a couple years later brought Vince and Penny back for a third series in order to end the story the way people wanted it to end.
