It was a big night for TV last night in the northeast, but a police department in Connecticut wants people to know that missing your favorite show isn't an emergency.
Between the Yankees-Red Sox baseball game on ESPN, the continuing saga of AMC’s Breaking Bad and the season finale of HBO’s True Blood, there was outrage when Cablevision’s Optimum service experienced a widespread outage.
Customers in southwestern Connecticut were so distraught that people in Fairfield, Connecticut called 911 to voice their displeasure.
The police department was not amused by the consumer complaints. The message on the department's Facebook page reads the outage is 'neither an emergency or a police related concern.'
“We are receiving numerous 911 calls regarding the Cablevision outage. This is neither an emergency or a police related concern. Please direct your inquiries to Cablevision. Misuse of the 911 system may result in an arrest.'

The majority of these idiots voted for Obammy. Case closed.
I live in south eastern Ct and suffered the cable outage.
Instead I watched HBO’s Rome on DVD
Not to mention the fact that most broadcasters post the episodes online after the air date.
I do think Low Winter Sun was much improved from the premier episode. Actors settle into roles and make shows better.
Its still not a realistic portrayal of Detroit though.

What do you think caused the fall of the Roman Empire?
Gibbon said it best:
The Roman state, its people, and institutions became enervated.
Definition of ENERVATE
: lacking physical, mental, or moral vigor
See any similarities to what’s going on today?

A-Roid strikes again.
I’m glad you posted the definition, because I was probably too enervated to look it up.
“First World Problems”
yeah i am afraid they are botching the ending. some stuff they waste way too much time on and some stuff is being glossed over too quickly that it’s either nothing or condensed.
Not the most commonly used word. I would have had to look it up if I did not read Gibbon Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire so much in high school.
