some help

[drydem]

So, I am working on a project for a television class and I am wondering if people can point out to me specific aspects of meta-narrative in the "prime-time action drama". What I mean by this is places in which the characters make reference to the narrative frame. The best example I can think of for this is "Dawn's in trouble. It must be Thursday." from Buffy.
Can anyone point out other examples of this? I know we're a TV literate bunch. Gimme some help here.

not having anything to *add*, really

but the direct buffy quote was regarding the tuesday-ness, not thursday-ness of dawn's trouble.

and then there was the semi-metanarrative of the seinfeld season in which george and jerry develop a tv show called "jerry".... i don't remember very many details of that, though.
