Saturday morning I was always watching cartoons as a kid and my mother would make me one of the same Swanson turkey dinners that was sooo good as a kid at noon on a TV table. Poor mother thought salt and pepper was the only seasoning in the world, but I have graduated and can experiment with lots of different things every night. No TV dinners in my freezer anymore.
I grew up with TV dinners. I rarely ate what my mom cooked. I was really fussy. Mortons, Swanson, Banquet, Kid's Meals. Nothing made me happier than sitting down with a Kid's Meal (with miniature hotdog and fries) and a ice cold glass of milk to watch The Partridge Family or The Odd Couple on my trusty Zenith. Fond memories.
TV dinners were a treat for us kids that we got to have when my parents were going out for the evening, otherwise we never had them, Mom always cooked dinner. Except for Wednesdays, when my Dad went to his Native Sons of the Golden West meetings and wasn’t home for dinner. Then we went either to Foster Freeze or Flips drive ins, Casper’s Hot Dogs or Mom would get Chinese food at Violets New China Tea Garden.
My favorite TV dinners were the Swansons Roast Beef with the new potato in each of the three corners of the meat section. Or the Baked Ham with the Raisin sauce. These were the days before they had the extra little section with the cranberry sauce, brownie or whatever.

Oh man, Swanson's Roast Beef was my favorite too! I also liked the crispy coating on their fried chicken. Tasted just like Chicken Delight.

I like Chocolate and baked potatoes. But I do not think I would like it together.
What a repulsive idea, Hot Fudge on a Baked Potato, yuck. Or the suggestion to pour it over cubed cooked potatoes and sprinkle with cocoa. I doubt that this idea ever got off the ground,because this is the first time I ever heard of this, and I’ve seen some weird food ideas in my 67 years, but never this one.

I have a feeling this Kraft product was not for the American market.
Wow! Louis, these are great! I remember my folks buying chickens in a can for camping trips, so ribs in a can aren't such a stretch for me...
I had to read reply #4 twice before I registered 'AIR holes'...

For camping trips my mother would buy stew meat, prepare it and bring the whole lot to the butcher again, who would can it all. Good heavens what a work but during the holidays she only had to reheat. And ofcourse the taste was much better than the ready stuff in cans.
