20 Questions for Medical Mark
Go to www.mindundermuscle.com. You will have to register to view this website. Look in the folder "Fitness Temple".
Look for the thread titled "20 Questions for Medical Mark". It usually floats near the top. Warning, it is very, very long. This should answer many of your questions about FIRM being sold to GoodTimes, the individuals responsible for all the lawsuiits, as well as what happened to the old mansion set (it's in a landfill). Mark did say he and Anna still get royalties from old FIRM (both Classics and BMG, I think). It has been implied that GT doesn't want to release many of those VHS/DVD because GT only likes workouts that use the FL, not the 14" wooden step box. I don't know if this is true, but it does seem odd that GT is unwilling to market the DVDs of many of their 'old' workouts. I know there are a lot of people who would buy these workouts: Cardio Step Mix and the Core Cardios immediately come to mind. |

Re: mourning the old Firm

You're right--it's the end of an era, but maybe it was time for it to end. Times change, people's tastes change, and things we once thought were wonderful sometimes become things that make us wonder why we thought they were wonderful. Fan or not, though, there's no denying that the old Firm was a huge force in the birth and evolution of the home video fitness industry, and even the end of an era can't change that.
