In a similar way, I've been seeing and hearing a lot more of the skirling screeching ascendant strings sound since Lost began using it to indicate high drama just before a commercial break. I know it existed before then (perhaps its earliest progenitor came out of Psycho) but it seems like this specific use has become more popular in TV scores since Lost started doing it.
