i was born in 1962, we ate tv dinners as a "treat" maybe once or twice a month, i remember getting excited when a new flavor came out.

I miss the old style TV dinners that came in a foil container,back the old days we planned ahead. So 25 minutes in the oven was never an issue. For me I think food back in the 50's 60's tasted much better and smelled good too! Plus don't forget the TV tray, every one had them back then that way you could watch your favorite shows on your black and white floor model TV console.

9/12/17: We did not eat TV dinners often in our home because my mom would do all the cooking ( from scratch ) each night. But, whenever she did serve these meals ( TV dinners ), she would serve it with a salad, hot rolls w/butter and a homemade dessert. We would be so excited whenever my dad would pick up a pizza for dinner, or we'd go to McDonalds( at that time you sat in your car to eat your hamburger & fries ), had TV dinners and/or had pancakes w/sausage and etc for dinner. It was NOT the NORM for us to go to fast food restaurants, it was the exception! After all w/ 5 children in a private school, uniforms, book bills and etc, who has time for wasting money on fast food? It may seem like my family life was very strict but, it wasn't, my dad & mom spent a lot of time with us. Thank you, Dad & Mom, for the memories. Mom's in heaven now but my dad is still here, he's 80 yrs old and still getting about. Aloha, everybody. Thank you, GOD , for great parents. JESUS is LORD!

Jada Parks , same here except for I didn't go to private school. My mom worked and still came home and cooked. She did all the yard work on the weekend and slow cooked homemade spaghetti sauce on Sundays, and it was the best. Unfortunately she can't remember the recipe. We knew what was for dinner each night of the week. We had salad every night and the dressing wasn't bottled, it was olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper talk about healthy. Only once in a while did we get to have a treat called a TV Dinner and another one called fast food :D Breakfast was milk, juice, toast, a vitamin, and my choice between oatmeal, rice cereal, or cream of wheat. Only on Saturday and Sunday did I get sweet boxed cereal. Mom didn't send me to school wired on sugar to drive the teacher crazy. I was 15 when I had my first slice of Pizza it had Anchovies on it and they were good :D I didn't eat pizza again until I was in my 20s. What a wonderful life it was. Peace Love and Jesus Christ is The Lord : )

Normally everything new was not quite as devoloped and not as good back then, but TV dinners seem to have went the opposite direction. They look ten times better than todays TV dinners, and bigger with a lot more food. Also it was good food and real mashed potatoes. Not instant junk they use now in a lot of the frozen dinners of today.

@inkey2 9 жыл бұрын

Karl......my memory of TV dinners from the 1950s, 60s etc is that they weren't bad at all. Some were pretty fancy and had sections with some kind of soup and apple crumb dessert . I always loved TV dinner mashed potatoes. Back then every house had a few "TV dinner trays" (tables) so you could literally eat your TV dinner in front of the TV. They were made of cheap, stamped out sheet metal with a design painted on them. In fact on Ebay they are considered a mid 20th century collectors item now.

@KarlShota 9 жыл бұрын

No kidding on the Ebay front. I just came across a Libbyland aluminum TV Dinner tray that's up for $35. I could imagine what trays even older than that would sell for. o.o Thanks for sharing your memories on TV dinners. They make me wonder if they'd have a better reputation if they had remained geared for heating in an oven and not the microwave. OuO

Because there was a slogan for a car commercial that went.."The QUALITY goes in BEFORE the name goes on" and that is the way ppl did everything. QUALITY of an item, whatever you sold MUST be the motto of the day. They did not have FEW ppl working and trying to do EVERYTHING ( they call it MULTI-TASKING today ). They hired you on a job where you can FOCUS YOUR SKILL. Nowadays, companies hire FEW PEOPLE and over work them in order to SAVE MONEY. In the meantime, you do NOT get QUALITY and you see this in industry, home building ( cheap material ) and etc. The motto today...The building goes up, the name goes on. Never mind the QUALITY. Dear, JESUS, when will it ever end? I am sick of it. Sad, Sad, Sad.

I like the medical bit at 51 seconds, where he demonstrates using the fork to lift what looks like flacid dead human skin to show us it is actually dead, unable to move and somehow, shows the viewer that you too can lift the skin with a fork to check what might be underneath and of course, the wholesome goodness of flacid dead human skin. And finally, let's not mention what happens when you consume food that is heated in aluminium trays. No wonder the cancer rate is through the roof these days. Sigh
