Fried Chicken was my favorite. They actually tasted pretty good when you were a kid growing up in the 1960s. Also only time my parents let me eat dinner while watching tv lol. Always a special treat when we had TV dinners. Salisbury steak and the Mexican dinners were also favorites.

I remember my family tried our first TV dinners, my mom bought tv dinner trays , so we could sit in the living room and eat and watch TV. It was a big thing in the late to early 1960's , SO COOL, we could eat and watch tv. I liked them. But it was never enough food in those dinners.

My family rarely ever ate TV dinners (1960's and 70's) so when we did have one it was considered a treat. I really liked the 3 course dinners. It is a shame that they quit making those. Now you can't even get dessert with your meal anymore. They call them Swanson Classics but they're just not as good as they used to be.

My family ate these TV dinners with the aluminum tray in early 70’s because that is as far back I can remember. We even had the TV dinner stand up trays also, turkey dinner was one of my favorites and the fried chicken, I think that these tasted better because they were heated in an oven and heated up better than a microwave.

I like Fred Flintstone's reaction when she left him a TV dinner to eat while she was making the Happy Housewife TV show. I remember when I was a kid, I always wanted my mother to buy the TV dinners but she never would because she said they were junk. She was old fashioned and insisted on home cooked dinners. I never had a TV dinner til I was an adult and bought it myself out of curiosity.

@dirtydavy 12 жыл бұрын

I truly miss the days of the aluminum tray frozen dinners. It seemed they had more taste, were cooked more efficiently, and you worked up an appetite waiting for it to to be done, say, 30 minutes compared to 5 nowadays. Plus, you took them out and put them on one of those tv watching trays in the living room. TV dinner!

TV dinners were better when they were still packaged in aluminum foil trays. Now, most TV dinners are microwaved, thus being packaged in plastic trays now. In the oven, the plastic trays are supposedly heat proof, but you get that "plastic" flavor in the food. Now, the portions (at least on the Banquet dinners) are a lot smaller...but perfect if you are on a diet and are trying to cut back on your eating. Once in a while I would go for one of the Hungry Man dinners.

And because Campbell Soup Company owned Swanson in the early '60s, what brand of tomato soup do YOU think they'd include in their "3 course dinners"? This ad was usually seen on "LASSIE" and "THE DONNA REED SHOW" [Campbell Soup was the primary sponsor].

@karen4you Жыл бұрын

My mom wasn't the best cook so a Salisbury dinner was a marvelous treat. I'd sit on a step in front of the oven on cold days waiting for dinner. They were larger patty and better tasting than today's offering.

@slobomotion 12 жыл бұрын

Of course I remember these. They were so-so but indeed convenient. I had a professor who'd been involved in the space program, food packaging and other things (he was my technical drawing prof) and he explained how the space program advanced this type of convenience item a lot. I think I bought these up through the '80s in the States sometimes! I live in France now and barely eat processed "convenience" foods anymore but there are some fascinating ones available!

Man, I knew when I was kid in the sixties that I should keep all the foil trays and boxes that showed the dinner that looked like a wooden cabinet TV set, I washed and scrubbed all the trays and put them back in the boxes and hid them away in my room but we moved from that house in 1972 too a brand new home and when I moved all my stuff my mom said I couldn't take my collection and dumped them in a dumpster. I'm 62 now and my moms still here at 92, and I still remind her about it. 😣

It's true. The TV dinners now are CRAP compared to what they were back in the day in tinfoil pans. The Banquet Salisbury Steak had actual painted on charbroil lines across the patties! Now they don't! A couple of years ago, I wrote to complain about this and I shit you not, they sent me a coupon for a free box of Salisbury steak. But they never corrected the problem. This is the poor man's fillet mignon! And On-Cor Salisbury steak (which STILL has the painted grill marks on the patties) are hard to come by where I live....

@653j521 6 жыл бұрын

You think they used real, fresh ingredients in tv dinners? Everything tasted like cardboard. They were awful, but a novelty, so they were popular--that, and all the fat, sugar, and salt. And they took forever to cook so you waited and waited for what you could have made yourself in a similar amount of time with real, fresh ingredients. The chicken pot pies were similarly time-consuming and had very little inside and you normally burned your mouth because you were starving, but the gravy-soaked crust was somewhat edible. That's the thing. These dinners taught a generation to tolerate eating junk when they had the money to do so much better. Look around you for the result of THAT. :(

When i was a kid, TV Dinners were in foil and had to be cooked in a regular oven for like an hour. Ok, maybe 55 minutes. There weren't many microwaves in homes. My first experience was a microwave at The 7-11 around the corner from my folks' houseand. They had instant Chilli dogs and these Truckstop sandwich. I loced them. Chocolate milk, sandwich, maybe an icee. They still had Mrs. Bairds French Padtries. So good. They had the little vanilla ice cream cups for a dime. Eleven cents with tax. Sometimes if us kids were short the tax, the guy would let us keep the candy or food anyway.

Microwave ovens were considered a "luxury" item (like color TV sets and VCR's when they first came out) until at least the mid to late 1970's. Now they're a common household appliance. I think Whirlpool made the first microwave oven in the mid-1950's, but it cost about $3000 in 1957 dollars. An example of that first microwave oven is in the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, MI.

Sometimes they were quite nasty. I love the scene in STRANGER THAN PARADISE where Richard Edson explains to Ester Balint how good and normal frozen dinners are. She says, "What kind of meat is that? Does it come from a cow?" I'm from the same place as Jarmusch and a lot of his material really hits home. I kind of liked frozen pot pies! Gloopy and a good way to burn yourself, but oddly good!!
