Toss out last night's 'Housewives' ratings

Sounds like a lot of viewers in Adelphia territory got the español version of ABC last night. A reader emails:

My boss came into work last week asking if anyone else's LOST was in Spanish. She said her Adelphia feed switched to Spanish the last fifteen minutes. We all secretly figured she hit some SAP button on her remote. Except she swore the commericals were in English, and all the other channels were in English.

Cut to last night. I turn on ABC at 9pm and DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES starts up in Spanish. I hit all the buttons on the remote, then realize. Commericals in English. Rest of the channels in English.

"Adelphia Legal, ABC on Line One!"

Hilarious. And not so.

An irate poster at Blogging.la felt the Adelphia burn last week. You could do a whole website on rants from cable subscribers. [And now someone will-ed.]
