TV DINNERS thread! Your faves? Memories of 'em? Anything TV dinner related.

Hey all!

Thought this might be an untouched topic, so I figured I'd roll out the red carpet for this one.
What are your favorites?  Is there a particular brand that you stick with?  Do you have memories of eating them as a kid?  Or anything TV dinner-related you want to contribute?

I must start with this:
Error 404 (Not Found)!!1

I have bad memories of TV dinners when I was a little kid.  They were awful!  Yucky pea/corn medleys in some sweet sort of sauce, substandard chicken/pork that would easily be cold in the middle, potatoes that would be half frozen.. barf!  The picture on the cover was FAR better than the meal.

Man, they have fortunately come a LONG way since.  They are actually quite good nowadays!  My favorites:
MEGA MEAL Salisbury Steak:

MEGA MEAL Buffalo Chicken:

HUNGRY MAN Salisbury Steak:

Post YOUR favorite TV dinners!  Or bad ones!  Or just TV dinner memories!

I remember after getting out of training and arriving at Lossiemouth I had my single man room in the block. I bought myself a microwave and after two years of eating mess food was salivating heavily at just the thought of a TV dinner instead of mess food.

I remember we ate this pretty often



I always thought the dessert was the best thing about those meals.

I had a BBQ Meal with some rib shaped meat and a piece of chicken that was tasteless and chewy.UGH!
I never cared for TV dinners.

I remember years ago Dad getting angry with something a newscaster said and throwing a chicken drumstick at the screen.

My Dad threw a can of beer at the TV once!

At the TV these days, I just flip the bird.

I beat the s**t out of my TV once. It was a small black and white.
I slammed it onto the floor and kicked it. I don't recall why. I was with my brother Glenn at my trailer.

i love banquet salibury steak! and stouffer's mac& cheese. DO NOT try the stouffer's baked chicken, it is terrible. kind like a giant non breaded mcnugget.
  but banquet pot pies cooked in the oven are my heart's delight. NOT in the microwave, it screws the crust up. in the oven, the crust gets crispy/flaky like it should, and there's a WHOLE crust, not just a top crust. excellent comfort food.

couldn't stick these things in the microwave because of the tin tray, but i remember being hooked on these microwave breakfast things for a number of years during the '80s............
