I got spoiled for the season finale of 5th-season Buffy three times over, the last time on the day it aired: once by The Scotsman (tedious rag!), once by one of my best friends, and once by an American online magazine that evidently figured no one outside the US was reading it.
I got spoiled for the fourth season finale of the West Wing by a couple of Americans who evidently didn't care that people outside the US were reading their blogs.
I remember at a Trek panel at Redemption 2003, an American fan of Buffy was trying to tell us something about an episode of Buffy that had aired in the US but not yet in the UK, and got roared down - a la the crowd roar in The Mikado when Katisha is trying to tell them Nanki-Poo's identity. Rather like Katisha, she had to be yelled down three times before she gave up trying to spoil us.
