    I certainly have the utmost respect for those handy kitchen gadgets we used to see advertised on Home Shopping Network and ‘QVC,’ but, if I’m not mistaken (and having spent 16 years in AFRTS), the name of the show was ‘Dawnbuster,’ also once hosted by Pat Sajak. (Hmmm…now if I only knew who the Saigon Kid was…) Randy
