V-bar

It seems that this device began as something invented by Dr. Anne-Marie Bennstrom called the "V-Bar," which was subsequently renamed the "V-Toner" by Joshua Reynolds, who also redesigned it, and it was renamed the Thighmaster by Peter Bieler.

That sounds like an interesting idea to potentially add to this article. If you could list the source for that, it can be added. Many of these names may need articles or, if lacking notability, redirects to appropriate articles that mention them. Right now the only blue link I can see, Joshua Reynolds, is not discussing a man who could have invented this. If he does need an article then you could ask the maintainers of the one currently occupying that space to move it to Sir Joshua Reynolds since I presume the V-Toner renamer is not knighted. Currently, the article lists Reynolds as the creator, not Bennstrom. I will contact the one who wrote that and refer them to you so you can resolve this together as I honestly don't know who created it. Tyciol (talk) 19:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Popular culture dates

Based upon articles that link here, I've located exposure of the thighmaster to the media. Some days are not specific, I do not know the episode(s) in which it is featured. So in that case, I have listed a span of years that the series has been on air for. As people learn more about what episodes they were and when they air, we can reorganize it based on air date as was my original intention. Like, does anyone know what ep they see Ugly Naked Guy has a thighmaster? Tyciol (talk) 20:06, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
