I avoid TV show promos and movie trailers for those that I already know that I'm going to be watching. The worst is when you go in to see one movie, and they show ten spoiling trailers before the movie starts, where you can't escape them. Showing up late to the movie after the trailers are done is impossible, unless you want to sit on the front row and look straight up the entire movie. No thanks.

I generally end up fast-forwarding to the end of those types of shows anyway.

I'll hear it on the radio, on a talk show, in previews for the next episode or from someone on Twitter or Facebook.

Leave it to marketing/PR people to feel the need to over-market their product to the point of ruining it. That doesn’t surprise me.

They are often mad the teasers give away so much. In listening to the “Lost” podcast by the producers, I found out they have nothing to do with the “next time on” and TV spots for upcoming episodes.

"who shot J.R." type of scenario... or your watching news on the channel the TV show airs.

I like some of the new features some of these sites now have. You actually have to click a button to reveal the spoiler. Of course, the opposite happens too... as I DVR House, and usually watch it the next day. Headline the next morning totally spoiled the episode that I've yet to watch :( I think the problem is, they’re trying to compete with said spoiler sites…
