I can't reproduce this, because the page says that the shows are only 
available in the US. Is there a flash you can right-click on and then 
say "Allow Flash from this site"?

What's the URL? If it's http://dynamic.abc.go.com/streaming/landing , 
you only need to whitelist dynamic.abc.go.com.

You could also add the Flashblock button to your toolbar to quickly 
disable and re-enable it. But you shouldn't have to; if the solutions 
above don't work, that's a bug.
