"Housewives" Gets Lost in Translation
Ay, ay, ay!
Gotta hand it to those Desperate Housewives--they deliver great drama both onscreen and off.
Fans in both Los Angeles and Canada were left desperate themselves Sunday night after two separate technical glitches interrupted the show's broadcast.
Nearly 200,000 Southern California viewers found themselves muy confused last week when a local cable operator accidentally aired the first 50 minutes of the show in Spanish.
Adelphia Commmunicatons felt the wrath and complaints of wannabe Wisteria Lane residents after an equipment mishap picked up the Spanish-language simulcast of the episode.
The cable company quickly placed blame elsewhere, namely on damage caused to equipment from the nearby wildfires raging in the region. Adelphia says it was forced to reroute its cable signal to a different location, which caused the soundtrack snafu.
Unfortunately for viewers of quality television, the Desperate Housewives glitch wasn't the only problem for the cable company. The provider was also forced to repeat last week's Lost Monday night after a power outage last Wednesday left hatch-crazy fans in the dark.
As for Desperate viewers to the north, there was no need to be bilingual, but some psychic ability wouldn't have hurt.
In the last half of the show, Canada's CTV reportedly aired several scenes multiple times and dropped other scenes from its broadcast entirely.
Both stations have promised to re-air the episodes, glitch-free.
Desperate Housewives will replay in its entirety--hopefully--on both KABC-TV and CTV Saturday night.
