The 2011 installment of the pop-culture insanity that is Comic-Con is now but weeks away. Those privileged enough to have tickets are anxiously awaiting the official schedule announcement so as to better plan out every minute of their San Diego weekend. While the official 2011 Comic-Con schedule is still to come, several TV shows have officially announced their attendance.
The various show panels (there will be more than 60 television programs in attendance) will be scheduled over the course of four days in the lecture halls of Comic-Con. In addition to this, there will be screenings of new pilots throughout the main convention days and on the Wednesday preview night.
The following schedule reflects what has been announced so far about television panels at Comic-Con. Keep in mind that the times, guests and specific are subject to change until the official schedule comes out. Plus, the various multi-show panels (including BuddyTV’s own sponsored panel — check back for further details!) do not appear on this listing.

Laurel grew up in Mamaroneck, NY, Grosse Pointe, MI and Bellevue WA. She then went on to live in places like Boston, Tucson, Houston, Wales, Tanzania, Prince Edward Island and New York City before heading back to Seattle. Ever since early childhood, when she became addicted to The Muppet Show, Laurel has watched far too much TV. Current favorites include Chuck, Modern Family, Supernatural, Mad Men and Community. Laurel received a BA in Astrophysics (yes, that is possible) from Colgate University and a PhD in Middle Eastern Studies and History of Science from Columbia University before she realized that television is much better than studying.
