TV dinners have change over time. In 1944 they stared adding frozen fruits and vegetables.  When Quaker came out with TV dinners they were served on aluminum trays. When they first came out you could choose from four different meats Salisbury steak, meatloaf, fried chicken, or turkey. For sides you could get mashed potatoes, carrots, or green beans. Not long after you could get a dessert that comes with it. When they first came out they were .98 cents each. Now a days TV dinners come with more options. You have more entrees and desserts to choose from. Also they replaced the aluminum trays with plastic trays. Over the years other brands started to do TV dinners. Some brands use TV dinners to distribute their food. Some of these brands will also use it as diet food. By freezing the dinners it makes it easier to transport food over long distances. There are many different types of TV dinners. There are different types of pasta and Italian dishes to choose from. You can get then in different styles and flavors. They also have different meat, vegetables, and seafood dinners to choose from. They have added more modern flavors to these dinners also. Also they have low calories alternatives. This is for people who want to lose or maintain weight. Not all TV dinners are good for you, most of them contain more calories than you should consume in one day. They also have non-frozen dinners. This is like steamer rice, noodle bowls and microwavable soups.
