I'm not pointing to the usual sitcoms/soap-operas/crime-dramas. I'm  
referring to made for TV movies and mini-series, multi-generational  
sagas that resort to flashbacks to sustain continuity. While "Titanic"  
is one of those big-time Hollywood movies, the techniques in James  
Cameron's film come to mind. Note as well current programs like  
"Without a Trace" that juggle time to resolve a "mystery."

Of course, "Citizen Kane" is the all-time champion of the technique.
