Does anyone remember what product was called the man handler. The t.v. commercial would start out with,
HOW DO YOU HANDLE A HUNGRY MAN, THE MAN HANDLER, THATS HOW YOU HANDLE A HUNGRY MAN.
The tune keeps running through my head, but I just can't place it. I was thinking a soup.

Salisbury Steak!
We used to eat the Salisbury steak TV dinners. Not often, they were too expensive.
But I loved them, especially the Apple Cobbler in the tray!
Remember the boil in bag Salisbury Steaks you could buy?

Now that Hungry Man tune is running through my head. I'm picturing either canned soup or the giant sized frozen dinners. Very nice Estate range by the way, booandsue. I have a vintage magazine ad for one in the same green color as yours hanging in my kitchen, alongside the ad for the 1931 Magic Chef I own.

I remember the Swanson dinners with the baked fruit (usually apple) dessert.
My mother is a good cook. We had tv dinners only when my parents went out to a social event and left us with a babysitter. Having a tv dinner was considered a special novelty treat. The food wasn't as good as mom's, but there was novelty value in being able to "cook our own dinners" at age seven.

Thanks for the compliment Henry200. I use this stove quite often. The oven is amazingly accurate.

I could actually handle some banana Bonamo Turkish Taffy.

We also had Morton's brand of TV dinners and pot pies. I was thinking that they would have been great to take to school if they would pop them in the oven for you like a half hour before your class went to lunch. Some pot pies were better than others. Sometimes those with an under crust holding the contents did not do so well. Our Sunbeam electric skillet had instructions for fixing a TV dinner in it; this was waaay before toaster ovens. You either inverted a cake cooling rack in the silllet or made little balls with aluminum foil that you scattered in the skillet to keep a space between the dinner and the pan, set the thermostat for 400F and let 'er rip. You could do pot pies in it also, but the crust on top did not brown.
Pity there was no aluminum recycling in those days. The earlier trays were heavier gauge than the later ones and almost looked reusable.

Yes, I remember those. During my first years out of college when I was flight instructing with few students I lived on those for awhile. They came packaged one to a package and you could buy them for $0.25 each. I'd make a sandwich out of one.
While I can't remember the brand name, I remember the logo was a red block with the companies name in it. Maybe Mortons?

Weiner Wraps.......remember those? Man, we used to eat those bad-boys like crazy.
Wasn't the "hungry man" song for Campbell's soup, for their new line of chunky soups?

OMG
This thread is hysterical, my Mom would do up TV dinners one night a week to take a break from cooking. I always had the Turkey dinner and can remember sometimes getting the aluminum tingle on my teeth!
I think what came next was Dad would take us out Fridays for Chinese food and the TV dinner era ended.
Greg you have to drive me by all these landmarks!

T.V. Dinners
Can honestly say growing up never touched the stuff. Guess because Mother Dear, my grandmas, aunts and every other woman I would have come in contact with growing up were good cooks, and thus most every meal was prepared from scratch.
However as we children grew into our teens, Saturday night became a sort of "free for all" dinner wise, as everyone usually had something going on, thus grabbed what they could from the fridge or freezer. Can remember thinking how grand I was sitting in the living room alone (everyone else went out), one Saturday night eating my dinner on one of those trays watching the Carol Burnett Show. Sadly for me after CBS went off tuned into a movie that turned out to be "The Night of The Living Dead". My parents came home later that night to find me sleeping with every single light in the house on! *LOL*
Pot Pies:
Now those we did have! My mother belonged to a freezer plan from Macy's so our basement freezer and the one in the kitchen always had goodies. Remember Morton's and Swanson's as being quite good, but only like the chicken and turkey.
Kind of went off pot pies as an adult (do most of the cooking from scratch), but recently local supermarket had a sale on Marie Calander (sp?) pot pies. Since they were so *cheap* figured what can it hurt and purchased a few. Made the first via the old in the oven on a cookie sheet method, and while it was quite good 30-40 minutes is wayyy to long for "fast food" dinner. *LOL*
Next time tired the microwave method and have to say the pie was VERY good. Nice flakey but soft crust (my favourite part) and lots of chicken. Will keep my eyes peeled for the next time they go on sale.
There is an episode of the "Golden Girls" where Sophia wants to go back to her old apartment in Brooklyn,NY because she thinks she's getting dotty. Anyway through flash backs we see a young Dorothy trying to get her mother and father ready for some family event. Sophia made "Sal" a "TV Dinner", and he's eating it in front of the new TV Dorothy and Stan just brought them. Sophia says television is just a fad, to which quips they wouldn't call them "TV Dinners" then.
Guess you had to be there.
Comment About Airline Food Resembling TV Dinners:
Aside from a few brief periods during early air travel most all food is prepared on the ground and simply reheated before serving. The days of airline hostesses or perhaps a chef grilling rib eye steaks in the galley during flight are long gone. *LOL*

We can walk by the 'landmarks', Jon, they're just a couple of blocks away!
It was Skinner Macaroni company, I couldn't think of the name the other day. I believe all these brands are now owned by Con-Agra today, still headquartered here. There used to be a huge Campbells plant right in downtown and some days, you could smell the cooking food for blocks.

That's always been my assumption.
This may be the approach taken by school cafeterias, too. I don't know about today--and I imagine such things can vary from school to school. But back when I was in school, I was told that most of the cooking was done in a central location. Then, it was shipped out in vats or whatever to the various schools, where they'd reheat.
