Homer Simpson Studios

Background: Homer Simpson Studios was opened to grand fanfare on June 4, 1990 after a long 3-year construction process. It was located in Studio City in the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles, California. Many Homer shows were produced there, most of them game shows. It closed in 2005 and is now the site of the Studio City Medical Center.

(June 4-July 4, 1990)

Nickname: "The "H" Palm Trees"
