Regarding Regina Schrambling's article on TV dinners ("TV's Longest-Running Hit," Feb. 5), I think she is slightly out of touch with reality. Ordering in is not always at-your-fingertips easy. It can be expensive and not always available, depending on where you live.
Your TV dinner would take 2 1/2 hours of prep and cooking. This is convenient?

Consumers today are presented with a multitude of choices in the frozen-food aisle. A study published in April by NPD Group Inc. showed that while restaurant takeout meals per capita fell in 2001 (for the first time since the early 1980s), the frozen-meal category has continued its steady growth over the past 10 years.
