At least something worthwhile was on TV.

Note - from Peter Falk’s personal life:

In his autobiography, Falk told how, as a teenager, he used his glass eye (due to cancer) to get laughs. Once while playing baseball in high school, Falk was called out at third base. “It was a bad call,” Falk said. “I was clearly safe. I knew it and everybody in the stands knew it. They sat so close to the field, they could see and hear everything. In front of everyone, I whipped out my eye and handed it to the umpire: ‘You’ll do better with this one.’”

It’s hard not to like a man with a sense of humor.

That’s a great story. The reruns of Columbo never get stale.
