Does anyone know the minimum theme squares for a weekday puzzle for NYT?

I'm sure it depends on the theme, but I think it would be unusual to dip below 40.  A fairly recent Monday had only 37 (two 11's and a 15); that's the least I can remember seeing, as far as traditional (not rebus or otherwise unusual) themes go.
