When television was first invented, there were only three channels (ABC, NBC, and CBS). Here at MC, there are only three original shows (The Moppet Family, T*K*O, No Day But Today).

I guess Three really IS company.

Hmmm, very interesting.
Yes Snowth, 3 is not only company; it's also a magic number...

You might wanna explain a little bit more. It was a netowrk which for whatever reasons didn't last very long. To my understanding it lack affiliates and didn't proffit and folded in 1955 or 56.
