Pictured is Mercedes Gaffney's Kitchen, which is seen Monday through Friday, from 1 to 2 p.m. on the ABC Television Network. It shows Mercedes and Rex May, known as the Man Around the Kitchen, as they do their show. TV cameras are in foreground as well as boom with microphone that picks up what they say.
