01.12 | Anatomy of a hit: '24'

That '24' has lived to see 100 and beyond is a testament to the fact it has quite literally stood the test of time. The show has always been a creative challenge: It is the first TV series to embrace a real-time format (each episode representing a single hour in the same day, running chronologically through a 24-episode season, no jumps forward or back in time, with each episode named for the hour in which it takes place), and it weaves its dramatic yarn by the use of split screens to tell multiple stories simultaneously, a visual conceit rescued from the hip basement of 1960s films like 'The Thomas Crown Affair'.
