Earlier tonight we’re sitting and watching the Hercule Poirot mystery on Arts & Entertainment, and just when the whole case was about to be solved, the screen goes dark, and the announcer says that Arts & Entertainment is now scrambled, and if we want it we should call our cable provider, yadda, yadda, yadda. What gives? It’s always been included with our basic cable until now.

Anyone else here from L.A., going through channel deprivation now that these Adelphia chowderheads have taken over our local cable system?
