He felt about TV dinner desserts the opposite of how he felt about TV dinner macaroni -- to end on the overcooked crust would ruin the whole effect, but to start with the overcooked crust wouldn't feel like eating dessert at all.
So Ronny carefully mixed the crust into the sugary syrup and apple chunks in the middle, mashing the fruit and syrup and dough into a coarse mush with his fork.

The first Swanson TV Dinner - made up of three sections containing turkey with cornbread dressing and gravy, sweet potatoes and buttered peas - went on sale in 1953 priced at 98 cents.
The advent of the TV dinner coincided with a changing society where women were increasingly going to work and had less time to cook, he told AP.

It turns out that the man who did or did not cook up the original TV dinner had finer culinary tastes.
Thomas told The Republic in 1999 that he had dreamed up the three-compartment tray - a fourth compartment was added later - and coined the TV Dinner name in an effort to market Swanson's surplus of frozen turkeys.
