Live-Action TV

 * Alias
 * Heroes
 * Jericho
 * Invasion
 * Fringe
 * Surface
 * Vanished
 * Dark Angel
 * Dollhouse
 * House—an odd case, in that it started as a more or less by-the-numbers mystery show (IN A HOSPITAL!), but eventually began developing slowly dribbled out arcs...that always managed to get sent back to square one at the end of the season (unless reality got in the way).
 * Battlestar Galactica
 * Kings
 * Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
 * Threshold
 * Journeyman
 * New Amsterdam
 * Defying Gravity
 * Carnivale
 * FlashForward
 * The American version of Life on Mars.
 * 24
 * The (or an) Ur Example might be The Prisoner (In 1967), which is a confirmed influence on several of the shows listed here, including Battlestar Galactica.
 * John Doe
 * Scandal, from what we saw yet.
 * Twin Peaks
 * The Pretender
 * Supernatural.
 * Six Feet Under, at least after character became more important than Black Comedy and focus shifted from the quirks of running a funeral home and meditations on death to playing with everyone's love life. An early but self-consciously codifying example.
 * The Event
 * The 2009 remake of V.
 * Charlie Jade
 * Grimm

Film

 * The Matrix
 * Vantage Point
