Way back when I was into reading what I could about the stuff that I was interested in, particularly episodes 5 and 6 of Star Wars.
Since then, though, I avoid spoilers as much as possible, especially TV previews of what's on "next week." Too many times, the person putting together the preview doesn't understand the episode and ends up ruining it. The one that comes to mind first in this respect is "Sic Transit Vir" from B5. If you've seen the episode, you'll know exactly what it is they revealed in the preview.
For me, it's not the splash so much as the journey. James Bond is always going to get the bad guy, right? But, I still enjoy the movies.
Oh, and with Columbo, it wasn't knowing who did it that was the point, it was "How is he going to get the bad guy? Where did the bad guy screw up?"
