if I was babysitting over the dinner hour, the "client" bought TV dinners for me and the kiddos! My favorite was salisbury steak! Doubt if I could eat one now though.

It would probably cost $15.00 or $20.00 if reproduced today.

I still buy Marie Calendar's chicken potpie, and I will always love Stouffer's mac n' cheese.

I baked it in the oven however per the instructions. It was inedible. I’m thinking the recipe was changed so it could be nuked.

By saying "We're having dinner with the Swansons."

Agree with others that the fried chicken was the best, but I liked a few of them. Always used to piss me off, though, when the contents would get jostled around in transit, because some of the corn kernels always wound up getting baked into the damn brownie
