This CD is simply too much fun not to have in your music collection. Worth every penny.
For, ahem, more mature listeners such as myself, the tunes will absolutely remind you of your childhood shopping trips to Sears/JC Penneys to buy school clothes, and of the game shows on the old black-and-white teevee.
The tunes are perfect for vacuuming/ironing/washing dishes to. I found myself longing to put on an apron and get to work cleaning up as soon as I put the record on the hifi. I mean, put the CD into the CD player. Whoa, flashback.
I also found myself longing to put on a shirtwaist dress, high heels, lipstick, a little hat and purse and go grocery shopping, so do not underestimate the nostalgia power that is packed in this little disk!

Bought this for the "Sleepy Shores" cut, but the rest of the CD was a bonus. Reminiscent of the 60's tv music and fun to listen to with your TV dinner!

I have been looking for this music collected since about 1969 when I started first grade. I loved the music of the school educational movies, and I never knew there would be some other nuts who would love it enough to put it together on disc. My kids love it too. My wife, alas, doesn't get it, but puts up with it out of love of family. Great for breaking tension when it's time to clean the house. Just pop it on and say to the kids with a hokey smile, "Hey guys, let's clean the house! It'll look swell!" Everyone will chip in and do their part thanks to this bouncy soundtrack!

Music for TV Dinners is a compilation of music composed by artists working for KPM, a British firm that developed a niche for providing music scores for commercial and industrial films during the 1950's and 1960's. I purchased this CD so I could liven up my home videos by adding some campy music tracks to them. The CD is great and while you may not be able to listen to the disk in a single sitting, listening to a few tracks at a time can immediately transport you back to childhood days and the scratchy 1950's/1960's era educational films they were still showing in my grade school when I was growing up in the 1970's. After loading this disk on to my I-pod, I discovered it adds a certain surreal quality to my morning commute- nothing quite like walking through the streets of a large American city in the middle of a morning rush hour while listening to "Happy Go Lively". It's a hoot.

I LOVE this CD. It's charming, bubbly, campy and just giddyly nostalgic.
I want more, much more of this. It makes great backgound music and is recognizable to any of us that watched television in the 1950's and 1960's and watched Ren&Stimpy. It's really the 1950's sound that I crave. I'm giving this CD as gifts. I LOVE IT!
PLEASE, SIR, MAY I HAVE SOME MORE TV DINNERS.
