“Occam’s Razor” (the philosophical stance that the simpler of two competing explanations is probably correct) inserted itself into consecutive nights of my prime time viewing.
First, Ned from “Pushing Daisies” invoked Occam’s Razor, just a mere tens days after I wrote a critique of the series. (Coincidence? I think… well… according to Occam’s Razor, it probably is.)
Then Thursday night, Occam’s Razor was quoted in “Grey’s Anatomy” during the diagnosis of a patient.
Seriously – what are the odds that two shows on the same network would quote the philosophical leanings of a 14th-century Franciscan monk? On back-to-back nights?

Ike,
I always knew you would be famous!
You know … I think we need to write to the networks and point out that social media rules suggest a little link on the screen to you, McConaughey, Carl Sagan, and William of Ockham.
Best,
Rich
How about that?! Your 15 minutes of fame (sort of).
Isaac,
Congratulations!!! This provides much motivation. Bask in your well-deserved recognition. Fabulous!
Well done, Ike! In fact, when I saw this last Thursday night I thought of you. However, it wasn’t on Grey’s Anatomy, but Scrubs on NBC … gotta give credit where credit is due.
That’s what I get for waiting to write the post, instead of jumping at the moment of inspiration.
Now if we could only find a transcript…
