BEVERLY HILLS, CAManufacturing aficionado John Ratzenberger is back this evening, touting American manufacturing know-how in his Travel Channel series, "John Ratzenberger's Made in America."
The program, now beginning its second season, airs every Tuesday, from 9-9:30 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times, and spotlights uniquely American companies and products and the niche each has found in pop culture. Ratzenberger, who spoke at this year's Assembly Technology Expo (Rosemont, IL) and starred in the series "Cheers," grew up as part of a working-class family and is a former carpenter who holds five patents for a packaging process he invented.
