When I saw "TV Dinner" I thought it was about those thingys in the aluminum tray with separate compartments to it. I guess I must be from the wrong half-century. 
I haven't had one in over 40 years but we loved those things as kids, especially the dessert part. Apple pie?

Classic TV... dinner...
Still fondly remember the salisbury steak dinner with mashed potatoes, corn, and brownie dessert. 'Good' stuff when I was growing up.

Now that's what I'm talking about...with the apple pie. Loved that one as well. We all hated having to eat the vegetables. But lot of times, the apple sauce would spill into the vegetable area and make it less yucky. LOL.

Yeah, old parents like ours didn't care much about the things they were feeding us like TV dinners, Spam, canned sausages, hash browns. It's amazing that I'm still alive. Although I feel like a few wheels have fallen off lately.

Maybe that's why I have big bacteria problems.
And yes... Salisbury Steak was the goto TV Dinner... and maybe I'm weird but I loved the veggies.

Well, you're old school then. LOL.
The "nutritious" stuff that I feed my kids nowadays. I feel sorry for them in a way, eating things that taste like cardboard.

My old favorite growing up:
It was 5 Banquet meals for $5, so I was eating 1 dollar mystery meat, I believe there was another one that comes with a brownie? But more expensive....these weren't bad
The worse was the Swanson fried chicken meal, how can anyone eat microwaved soggy chicken?

What are you talking about, Spam is considered a delicacy by many.

OMG, I loved the microwave fried chicken as a kid. Many a summer day I remember heating up those meals for lunch. Add to that a box of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese or can of Hormel chili and those were my go-to lunch staples during the summer.
