    so you were one of the complainers. I heard the letters section the next day. After they gave some comments about how many people were upset, they discussed what kind of spoiler warning sound they should use before talking about a show that has already been aired.

    Yeah, they completely missed the point, though. It was fine to report that Kal Penn got a Presidential appointment and that he had to be written out of the show, but they didn’t have to say HOW. I don’t read TV critic reviews until after I’ve watched an episode for myself, but I listen to All Things Considered nearly every evening. And I don’t expect to find out how the TV show ends that I haven’t watched yet because I wait to watch it with my airline husband when he comes home.
