My tv dinners were usually leftovers. But they were very, very good

I miss TV TRAYS, Grandma's cooking, and good cartoons. I use a TV tray everyday. We have a set of four. I keep one open beside my recliner and use it for snacking and to put my coffee cup on. They come in handy!

Better than the 70's Swanson. Ate a bunch as a kid in the 70's, Hungry Man. Frid chicken my favorite. I would not eat it today. Good stuff, but not fast. 30 minutes in the oven. I probably made it sound like they weren't any good, but back then I guess they weren't too bad. My mother worked a lot as a court reporter so I saw many TV dinners.

A great song, and video, by ZZ Top When I was younger it was a quick meal. Not any more. The way my bride cooks I don’t need or want one…..

Marie Callender and some Stouffer's are pretty good, but not exactly healthy.

My mom bought them all the time when I was growing up. Patio was my favorite until I moved out after high school. Then I could afford the Nigh Hawk TV Dinners. Haven`t eaten one in over 40 years though. Never did like those, I think those came later after the Swanson 70's run. My son made this chicken pot pie soup last night (pic below), it was delicious and reminded my of the swanson chicken pot pies, loved those things..

HEB makes some fresh heat and eat meals that are pretty decent if you're in a hurry. Other than frozen lasagna, I haven't bought anything even close to a TV dinner in years. https://www.heb.com/search/?q=Meal%20Simple
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

I liked the Marie Callenders until I read the label: 110 percent of the daily saturated fat guideline and 56 percent of the sodium. Man, TV dinners were a big treat when I was a kid in the 1950s. Put on my jammies with "feets" and had one all to myself on my own TV tray, watching the little GE black and white with all the tubes. I know -- prehistoric ...
Agree not healthy but best ones I ever tried were from them and their pot pies are good but do not read the label.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Good stuff, but not fast. 30 minutes in the oven. “How do you please a hungry man??” I always ate the El Charrito dinners. Weren’t half bad. I ate Patio then changed to El Charrito when they came out. They were very good to a young teen who loved Mexican food but had an English mother.
