About 90 people caused untold grief and anguish among television fans, when the Hollywood Foreign Press Association announced its Golden Globe nominees. An unenviable task for sure, to sift through what was a surprising bounty from networks and cable offerings alike. The HFPA’s efforts, worthy as they are, don’t quite match up with the Y! Buzz tally. From billions of searches in 2007, take a look at the top comedies and dramas in 2007. Something obviously doesn't add up...Friday, December, 14, 2007, 10:14 PM

The HFPA Association and searchers were in agreement on at least one thing: "Grey's Anatomy" counts among the best network offerings. The medical drama mixes enough bloody mayhem, social drama, and rampant makeouts to intoxicate its largely female fans. The irony of course is that Katherine Heigl, who earned a Golden Globe best actress nomination, may sit out the ceremonies rather than walk across the writer’s picket line. Patrick Dempsey ("McDreamy") and Ellen Pompeo were big-name snubs by the Globes, however.ABC/Bob D'Amico - Friday, December, 14, 2007, 10:14 PM

Star Hayden Panetierre must’ve felt bittersweet, helping to announce Globe nominations and not finding "Heroes" among the bunch. Still, even a truncated season didn’t diminish the passion for "Heroes." As ne’er-do-wells and do-gooders came (and went, sometimes for good) in 2007, the NBC drama bounded up a stunning 83% in online queries compared to 2006. The unlikely family drama of the 21st century draws in searchers from their 20s through 40s. NBC/Mitchell Haaseth - Friday, December, 14, 2007, 10:14 PM

"Smallville" may recount the adventures of a young Superman, but the CW show is a shocking seven years old – those are gray hairs in the TV industry. This year’s introduction of Clark Kent’s long-lost (well, long-suspended animation) cousin Kara, played by Laura Vandervoort, has given the series new juice and buzz, while a clone storyline lets some characters have their cake and eat it too. Congrats – it’s no small-town accomplishment to score third place in the Buzz drama year-end round-up.The CW/Lorenzo Agius - Friday, December, 14, 2007, 10:14 PM

John McCain gave "Prison Break" a plug in a recent debate, but the FOX drama decided to return behind bars. The back-to-the-jailhouse rock now has put the first season in reverse: Lincoln (Dominic Purcell), who had been wrongly imprisoned, is now the one who has to get his brother Michael (the eminently buzzworthy Wentworth Miller) out. The season’s not over yet, with the strike-induced hiatus set to end with a new episode on January 14. Now that’s an escape plan, and the kind of thinking that puts this cell melodrama in fourth place among Y! Buzz 2007 TV dramas, even if the Globes overlooked this show once again.FOX/Michael Lavine - Friday, December, 14, 2007, 10:14 PM

What more can we say about "The Sopranos?" The HBO mob family got under our pop culture skin, and the intensity from its Search fans was such that they even wanted to know in their final days, “What is Tony Soprano’s ring tone?” Well, the bell tolled for the Jersey clan, and gave the show its last chance to register its Buzz. They just made it – in a respectable fifth-place showing. Badabing... you know the rest. But the HFPA overlooked the show for Best Drama and James Gandolfini for Best Actor, two much-talked about omissions.HBO - Friday, December, 14, 2007, 10:14 PM

The Springfield denizens can’t be feeling too forlorn: "The Simpsons" got shined on for its 19th season of television grunt work, but the Golden Globes looked at the big picture – and gave them the nod for Best Animated Picture. Likely the ochre-skinned family from Middle America also reaped Search love from its June theatrical debut, but since it’ll probably be another 19 years for the sequel, we’ll give them their first place Buzz due among TV comedies.

Reincarnated a la "Cagney & Lacey" and "Jericho," "Family Guy" remains unapologetically ruthless in skewering... well, everything. The show hit its 100th episode, went live in Chicago, and even opened the Emmys this year. (Then again, so did Ryan Seacrest). How the next batch of episodes will fair without its creator on hand will be an interesting tale in 2008, but this year the FOX family enjoys its second Buzz place.

Are you sensing a trend? The third show dealing in irreverent animation, "South Park," is tracking more audience numbers than ever before, and may likely pull more in as MTV plans to make every episode free online next year. Time put the Comedy Central brood in its best 100 shows of all time in 2007, but we’re upping the ranking to a top five among comedies this year. What's up with no Golden Globe love for Cartman and company?Comedy Central - Friday, December, 14, 2007, 10:14 PM

Is a tornado ripping through Wisteria Lane the equivalent of ski-jumping a shark? Absolutely not, according to ardent fans of "Desperate Housewives," the fourth-most searched comedy on Y! Buzz. Off-camera tales of potentially cheating spouses and revealing photos help its buzz, but a focused plot this year stimulated critical adulation, which makes the lack of love from the Globes surprising. The writers’ strike could mean a long time in finding who didn’t survive the twister. Maybe the producers ought to consider a one-season plot detour to the land of Oz.

Perennial nominee "The Office" won’t see a Globe on their filing cabinet for this past season, but the NBC show’s in the running for the Writers Guild Awards. Unlike the other comedies on this list, which saw a Search decline compared to 2006, the sitcom ratcheted up a 44% increase this year. However there's no “Office” holiday party to celebrate due to the strike. You can always compare the Brit and the Yank versions or watch Rainn Wilson moonlighting to fill the empty, aching void.
