About the show:
Welcome to Tuna, Texas—where the population is small, but the opinions are *mighty big*.
Set in the proudly peculiar “third-smallest” town in the Lone Star State, *Greater Tuna* serves up a heaping helping of small-town life, complete with gossip, grit, and a whole lot of hair spray.
From the crackling microphones of local radio station OKKK to the front porches, pet shops, and church pews of Tuna, this fast-paced comedy introduces a parade of unforgettable characters—each more colorful than a Texas sunset.
At the heart of it all are the town’s self-appointed news anchors, who deliver everything from headline updates to unsolicited life advice with equal enthusiasm. Meanwhile, you’ll meet over-caffeinated animal lovers, fiercely patriotic citizens, judgmental church ladies, and a suspiciously competitive yard display committee—all brought to life in a whirlwind of quick changes and big personalities.
With its sharp wit, affectionate satire, and unmistakable Texas charm, *Greater Tuna* celebrates the quirks that make small towns feel larger than life. Whether you’ve lived in a place like Tuna or just driven through one with a “Don’t Blink or You’ll Miss It” sign, you’ll recognize the heart—and hilarity—of this offbeat community.
So grab your boots, mind your manners, and tune in... because in Tuna, everybody’s business is *everybody’s* business.
