(Working)
Somewhere in America
Upton/Webber is an international corporate conglomerate of 1,000,000 employees
"peddling influence since 1892." Headquartered in a shiny skyscraper, this
money-hungry corporation produced commercial spots with such corporate messages
as "From cradle to grave, we're with you."; "Upton/Webber©: Cloning a better
tomorrow"; "Space: we don't own it yet, but we will." and Upton/Webber©...Making
the products that make you buy more of our products since 1892." Some of its
employees included Tim Deale, a corporate weasel; Evelyn Smalley, a no-nonsense
office manager [she could be appeased with Belgian chocolates]; Matt Peyser, a
junior executive eager to climb the ladder of success; Hal, a sexy intelligent
secretary [replaced by the equally sexy, Liz Tricolli]; Abby Cosgrove, the perky
office do-gooder; Jimmy Clarke, the office snitch; and John Delaney, a dyspeptic
suck up who hopes he doesn‘t get fired.
URKEL, Steven "Steve" Quincy
(Family Matters)
Pinehurst Street
Chicago, IL
Steve is a middle-class black teenager. He is a nerd, loves polka dancing, plays
the accordion and is in love with Laura Winslow, a neighborhood teen who lives
next-door at #263. Steve first met Laura in kindergarten and gushingly refers to
her as "Laura, my love." Steve wears large glasses, hiked up trousers and snorts
when he laughs. His nasal catchphrase "Did I do that?" was a perfect complement
to his accident-prone personality that often frustrated Laura’s father Carl
Winslow whom Steve called "Big Guy." Although uncoordinated, Steve is extremely
intelligent ["I‘m 98 percent brain and two percent brawn."]

upbeat and overly-optimistic compared to Gloria’s brassy, sassy side, but the
two eventually became friends. Gloria’s mission is make Hope more aggressive and
less wishy-washy.
