I know I'm a bit behind the times, but I finally finished the first season of the acclaimed TV series 24, and I've computed the exact percentages of all the major tropes and themes . . . here they are:
22% suspense;
14% drama;
16% suspenseful drama;
11% gratuitous Elisha Cuthbert footage;
0% jokes;
5% chasing;
17% hiding;
0% giggling;
10% amnesia . . . seriously, amnesia;
4% furrowing;
7% peeking;
0% Commedia dell'arte.

I forgot that Elisha Cuthbert existed but this post, particularly the photo, refreshed my memory and I now plan to watch season 1 of 24 again. I think that's the season where she was held hostage while wearing a precariously small halter top and had to run and jump a lot.
your memory serves you well. i can't decide if i'm going to watch any more of it -- suspenseful, but really short on the jokes . . .
For what it's worth, after season 1 Elisha Cuthbert wore much less precarious shirts and didn't run or jump much at all.
