madman of the people was not a good show

on one fateful night, must see tv thursday did an entire night of blackout themed episodes. (by entire night, i mean 3 out of 4 of the shows. seinfeld wouldn’t cave to the gimmicky bullshit) who did what to cause the blackout?

the first person to comment with the correct answer (limit one answer per person) will get their name in the hall of fame on the side bar and get to lord it over everyone. don’t be discouraged if someone else answers first; there’s a good chance that person is wrong.
