Fascinating stuff! One of the reasons "Spy in the House of Love" was far and away my favorite Dollhouse ep was because of the fab POV funnery - I'm a total sucker for that kind of thing. Plus there's the FFL/Darla thing, which plays on the POV's across two different eps.
Ooh, and do you watch House at all? At the end of the first season we finally learn a bunch of House's backstory via a truly spellbinding ep called "Three Stories," in which we see the scenarios House is describing in a lecture to a bunch of med students. It plays all the postmodern tricks - House talking to the camera, House just deciding by fiat that one of the patients is a former Baywatch girl. And then it gets even weirder as you realize that one of the three patient scenarios he's describing is actually him years earlier. By the end you're watching - from an omniscient POV, presumably, since he's in a coma for part of it - House himself going through this huge traumatic thing. Amazing television, seriously.
Ooh, and then there's X-Files ep when the novelist interview a bunch of people, including Scully and Mulder, about a supposed alien landing...
All of which is to agree with you that hey! POV is cool! *g*
