Television scholar Jason Mittell coined the term narrative complexity to describe television shows that feature serialized plots within episodic television. In this article the author examines a specific form of narrative complexity, temporal displacement, as a salient feature of contemporary television shows. He argues that shows that rely on temporal displacement illustrate the industry’s reaction to and the audience’s resolution of post-modern schizophrenia. Furthermore, the author demonstrates how the contemporary digital media landscape not only encourages but also seemingly necessitates a complex interaction with temporality. The author concludes that temporal displacement is a palliative consequence that is beginning to inscribe people’s interaction with all media.
