So, wonder what is really "TV Dinner" ? Something you eat while watching TV ? or a dinner that ads shown on TV ?

Yeah, but because of Swanson's frozen food empire, we got to deal with Tucker Carlson...

His birth mother was a hippie that abandoned them with their father when tucker was 6. Not sure of the details, but escaping an abusive relationship was often labeled as "abandoning children" back then.

That abandonment likely started his trouble with women, then his dad married an heiress from the Swanson family, even tho most of that money was in Campbell's stock by then. During that time the new stepmom was fighting her brothers for access to her family trust.

Tucker was 10 around then, and that happening around him likely led to him mixing up a desire for a mother with desire for money, because that was the big thing going on when he got his new mom.

So now we end up with an emotionally stunted bowtied asshole who hates women and loves money
