This is Spoilers Anonymous, a weekly column here at TV Squad where we'll supply you with the dirt on some of the more popular shows on the air. We'll never put spoilers up here on the main page in order to help the reformed stay unspoiled. If you have anything to add to the group, feel free to step up and let yourself be heard, either with our tips form or by emailing us at tvsquad at gmail dot com or call and leave a message at (775) 640-8479 - your anonymity is guaranteed, if you wish to remain as such.
Starting next week, Spoilers Anonymous will be published every Thursday. Because I was unable to publish the column in the past weeks due to vacation and a faulty Internet connection, this special edition of the column is slightly longer than usual and filled with spoilers released since the last column was published.
This week we have: 24, Big Love, Bones, Brothers & Sisters, CSI, Desperate Housewives, Friday Night Lights, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes, House, How I Met Your Mother, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Lost, NCIS, Prison Break, Private Practice, Smallville and The Office. (SPOILERS FOLLOW!)

Not to worry, the "old" is still around in some form and they'll eventually reteam. However, it is possible some of the new cast sticks around.
