2. Narrative ; Arrested Development narrates some ways. One narration comes in the scene and he narrates some stories. And Bluth family show us how they lived and how they solved some situations, so that they narrate their story.
These programs featured crossing narratives that spanned single episodes, multi-episode arcs, seasons, and in some cases, the entire run of the show, demonstrating the "self-reflexivity and pastiche of postmodernism.  What set Twin Peaks apart, and made it even more postmodern, was its omnivorous appetite and its multivalent digestive system… The multiple generic worlds invoked in Twin Peaks exist as fragmented realities that may indeed collide, but never finally come together into a univalent totality"
These programs used the postmodern storytelling techniques like self-reflexive narration and pastiche to draw “quality demographics”
