TV Dinner Anniversary

Today marks the 70th anniversary of the TV Dinner. On September 10, 1953, Swanson introduced its frozen dinners, dubbed the TV Dinner. While that name brand was later abandoned, it has remained in the American vernacular as synonymous with frozen meals.

Derided today, “TV Dinners” (so branded and non-) were a staple of my young years. Many fond memories. My favorite was Banquet’s Beans & Franks variety, with cornbread and seasoned apples. ❤
