Okay, so you get a T.V. dinner out of the freezer, and everything is going well. You turn the box around, and read the instructions, here's where the trouble starts. The box tells you something like ''Cook on HIGH power, 2:00 to 15:00'' (That's an exaggeration to get my point across.) Then you check to see what the wattage was for the microwave they used. As it turns out, they didn't even specify! It just says something like ''Oven wattage times may vary'' and it's like, ''Gee, ya think?'' So you're just flying blind at this point because you didn't even get an estimate on what power level to cook the dinner on. Whoops! It's burnt, just like I thought it would be.

EDIT: Oh right, and when you open the box, and then you find that the brownie is in it's own tray, but it's also in the corn's tray as well, that'll piss me off somethin' fierce.
 
Yeah, this is why I eat Stouffer's. I usually keep an eye on microwave food every minute.

One thing I can't stand about T.V dinner is when the brownie/Apple sauce melts all over the corn/macaroni.
 
Those Banquet T.V. dinners are misleading. You look at the box, and say, ''Hey, this looks pretty good.''When you actually cook the dinner, it's nothing like the food on the box at all. All it is is a pile of cheap rubbish meant to boost your expectations for nothing.

*Shrugs* Hey--I--well, I live off of T.V. dinners. This kinda thing is important to me. I can only tolerate Marie Calendar's T.V. dinners, but they're kinda pricey...

Real food is FTW! I don't even use a microwave anymore.

On TV dinners, it gets pretty easy to figure out what time to use by trial and error. On the one at my old job I used to just deduct 2 minutes from whatever time they told me to use. That usually got me close enough to figure it out for sure the next time if it didn't work the first time.

Oh right, trial and error. I try that, and the first time I think I've gotten it right, I end up taking a bite into a ''frozen-in-the-middle'' chicken.
 
Ive eaten TV dinners for years, they're good for students who have kitchen cookers older then themselves!
 
What's the deal with those T.V. dinner commercials where they transfer the food from the tray to the plate? It's like ''You could've just eaten it outta the damn tray!''
 
T.V dinners are crazy, they put in stuff on them just for a laugh
