This means your ISP is blocking UDP packets, usually done to 'make things 
secure form ev1l l334 h4X0rz' and messing up everyone who has a routing 
problem...

host 204.153.26.245
245.26.153.204.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer akamai-origin.tvguide.com.

I can only get partway to it and cannot ping it at all.

Clear your cache and history. Permissions have nothing to do with this.

I cannot think of anything else that would block Safari from accessing the 
site, unless some Parental Permissions thing has been enabled? I know you can 
block specific websites; I don't know if this will affect all web browsers or 
just Safari.

The ONLY time 'repair permissions' will ever fix anything is if you 
specifically get an error related to permissions immediately after an Apple 
update, either in the Finder as an actual error pop-up or in the Console.
