We've been waiting months to find out the official schedule for San Diego Comic-Con, which takes place from July 24–27.  With so many actors, directors, producers and creators from the world of film and television attending the convention, not to mention an array of comic book writers and artists, the schedule is often kept under wraps until the last minute.  Today Comic-Con.org finally unveiled the itinerary for Thursday the 24th and Sunday the 27th, which is filled with so many big stars and exciting events that it could easily send a pop culture-lover into hysterics.  The schedule for Friday and Saturday, which contain the biggest panels, will likely be released in the next day or two.

Read on for all the details about the panels for Dexter, Smallville, Supernatural and other shows.  Remember that BuddyTV will be updating straight from Comic-Con with all the latest news and information.
