Transitions Gerry Thomas
Gerry Thomas, the man who brought the TV Dinner to the world, has died. He was 83 years old.
The first TV dinner of turkey & cornbread dressing with gravy, sweet potatoes and buttered peas - went on sale in 1953 priced at 98 cents. Mr. Thomas' invention was a solution to his company, CA Swanson and Sons, surplus of turkey.
The idea caught on well.
