All we have at the end of the day is stats esp keyword stats, until RSS gets smarter ; "When Nate Fisher mumbled, grabbed his arm, and keeled over in the fourth-to-last episode of HBO's drama Six Feet Under, a wave of shock washed over the Buzz. We were inundated with interest in "six feet under" and "peter krause," the actor who plays Nate. But it was Rachel Griffiths, the actress who embodies Nate's on-again-off-again love Brenda, who soaked up the most attention. After that Search tsunami, we were curious to see how the Web would register the show's finale on Sunday. Would people even care? Or was this series laid to rest with Nate's untimely passing?

Well, the answer is: The show lived on. Oh boy, did it. The macabre drama that began each episode with a death initiated its last episode with a birth, faded into an eerie, over-exposed vision of the future, and more than doubled in searches. Peter Krause (+921%) and Rachel Griffiths (+237%) both rose once more at the Search box, and their co-actors Michael C. Hall (+662%) and Lauren Ambrose (+492%) also observed mighty spikes. The "six feet under finale" garnered a 477% increase, and "six feet under soundtrack" played on, soaring off the chart. Even "hbo" got a nod at +30%, thank you kindly."
