John Ratzenberger, best known for playing friendly postman Cliff Clavin on the popular sitcom "Cheers," hits the road in a camper as he travels across the United States to get the inside scoop on slices of Americana as diverse as the Monopoly board game, Campbell's soup, Louis Slugger baseball bats and the USA Today newspaper, among others. Ratzenberger tours each company's factory to see how the product in question is made. Will you think differently of Wonder bread after seeing the process of how it is made?
