Searle makes Prime Time TV

The other night, Numb3rs (CBS) gave a quick and dirty presentation of Searle's Chinese Room thought experiment, even mentioned Searle by name. Unfortunately, they only gave half of Searle's argument, namely that the Chinese room would pass Turing's test (leaving out that such a "machine" would not, in fact, count as "knowing Chinese").
Is it just me, or are more TV show's referencing philosophy, philosophers, philosophical arguments, etc.? Aquinas and Free Will on House, MD; Searle on Numb3rs...
