Watch Internet tv on the Wii

Is there a way to get a Flash player to work on a Wii? We were trying to watch a tv show off of abc.com using the Opera browser on the Wii and got stopped in our tracks after it requiring Flash. Please advice!
Sharkfu is right I'm afraid. There is no way to update the ancient version of flash on the Wii.

If you really, really, really wanted to pursue this you could install a Linux distro and then try gnash (since Adobe doesn't offer a Linux PowerPC plugin.) That would be a lot of work though and you'd have to be willing to really get your hands dirty fiddling with things, and even then there's no guarantee that gnash has implemented enough of the newer Flash features to make the ABC player happy. (You'd definitely want to first try the site with gnash on a regular PC before going any further.)
