Tube Town
History
Homer Simpson discovered Tube Town when he and Lisa were watching TV and Kent's Korrections was showing on Channel 6. Lisa had the remote, so Homer told her to "mash the buttons until something good comes on," and the channel they ended up at was Tube Town. Very quickly, Homer got hooked on the classic sitcoms shown on the channel, especially Thicker than Waters.
