Yes. Once they were awful. Now they are less awful. In any case I'm not going to decline lasagne for £1! It's part of the single man lifestyle! 
Bonus: I got my microwave from an old lady who was upgrading and I think it's an original TV dinner era classic. It's MASSIVE and weighs a ton. Also I have to keep stopping it and manually turning the food as there is no revolving plate. Say what you will about gigantic possibly dangerous late 70s technology. It was built to last!

Absolutely. I grew up in a working class family where at times my Dad was even working two jobs. So cooking was not a consistent priority for my Mom.
For me, choosing a “TV dinner” was often a trade off of a favorite veggie mix versus a favorite protein-wanna-be versus a favorite dessert.
I remember too that back then waiting 30 minutes for something warming in the oven never really felt as long as nuking something for four minutes in the microwave does today.

I have eaten the ones pictured and still eat TV dinners. My favorite is turkey and peas dinner that I can get for one dollar when on sale.
