Over a chilly Saturday night dinner of Meatloaf and Fish 'n' Chips, the discussion turned to the vintage TV dinner. What became of the real TV dinner that you had to cook in the tinfoil pan in the oven for 45 minutes? Has this delicacy given way to the soggy variations that the microwave now offers? I remember it was a treat when a babysitter came as my brother and I always got to choose a TV dinner and eat with the TV on! What a treat! I always selected fish and chips. I don't remember what he picked...In any event, Dustin, the Gangler, and I came up with a new way to market old-school TV dinners. In light of all of TNT's "Dinner and a Movie" type shows, lets team up with them and do, "TV Dinner and a Movie." The show would allow time to put your TV Dinner in the oven, take it out and wait for it to cool, and eat. Maybe there would even be a special shout out to the funky brownie that came for dessert in the tinfoil package.
What do you think? Swinsons? Should we package them with some vintage looking food imagery on the cardboard lid?
