My general TV-watching strategy is to DVR everything and then watch it early on Saturday morning when no one in their right mind is awake except me, because I lost the ability to sleep in years ago. This lends itself to certain abuses re: spoilers.
For example. I love House. I dunno if you watch or not, but two(?) seasons ago, the day after a particularly spoilerific episode, my husband called me at work. He said, "Did you watch House last night or are you saving it til Saturday?" I told him, per usual I was saving it for Saturday. And he said, "Oh. Well then - don't read the Google news. Like, at all."
So of course I read the news because he told me not to, and of course it was then completely spoiled for me that Kal Penn's character offed himself, and. Yeah.
So my view on spoilers is, I prefer to not have them, but I accept that sometimes, given the way I watch TV, it is inevitable.
