"I Was Saved By The Bell: Stories Of Life, Love, And Dreams That Do" |
"Peter Engel, one of the most prolific producers in television with more than 1,000 episodes produced under his banner, single handedly created the teen sitcom with Saved By The Bell, which he executive produced through all of its many incarnations, and which led to his many other teen series. As if defining and conquering the teen arena wasn't enough, Peter produced the iconic Last Comic Standing, enabling the discovery of an entirely new, fresh generation of comedians. Peter's work was inspired by his own personal journey that took him through the injustices of the 1950s; meeting JFK and working for his election in 1960, with the catastrophic letdown that followed; his dream in the 1970s of making important television; his loves, marriages, family, and faith; and, in the 1990s and 2000s, finding his greatest success where he least expected it. Along the way, Peter encountered some of the most iconic personalities of his times. I Was Saved by the Bell is the chronicle of Peter's amaz"

Mark Twain Literary Mug - Twain Mug |
"I wanted to write a certain thing that would require a clear head & choice language. Finally I thought a cup of coffee might help the matter... - letter to Olivia L. Clemens and Charles J. Langdon, 17 Jan. 1869 Employ the Mark Twain mug when you need to preserve the outward signs of sanity - or just when you require a clear head to write a certain thing. You don't have to have coffee, of course, if you would better enjoy coffee with brandy burnt in it, water, slush, two hot scotches, slumgullion, or sage-tea. Mr. Twain was not one to stand on formality. Fill your mug with your favorite beverage, then lean back and read a good book or write literature of a low order - i.e. humorous - and nothing to be proud of, even if it is your strongest suit. Whether you're meeting with the book club or the board of directors, UPG's Literary Mugs make a welcome addition to your caf © culture.
