What people say they like and what they actually spend time doing are two very different things. While writers on the Internet tends to focus on premium television like Hannibal and Mad Men (guilty), or cult staples like Sons of Anarchy, the vast majority of people could not give less of a shit about this type of entertainment. Admit it: when you plop down on the couch it isn't The Knick you're usually watching—it's Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
To show show you just how skewed our perception of entertainment actually is, we did some quick-and-dirty searches on Google trends to find out what people actually care about. For this installment, we focused on the Fall season's most hyped dramas and comedies (reality TV really deserves its own article). Of course what someone's Googling may not translate to ratings (though it usually has some correlation), but it does show that what people want to read about on the Internet isn't always what you assume is popular.
