That’s our exact lineup! I don’t watch much TV, but Tuesday nights I make an exception. I didn’t think I’d be able to watch NCIS tonight, with the sad goodbye to Gibbs’ dad (Waite), but - like you said - it was a very beautiful tribute.
I agree with you about the govt function assessments/take of these shows.
Tuesday night is my only TV night and the rest of the world has to go away from 7 to 10 p.m. IMO, the writers did such an awesome job weaving the relationship between Gibbs and his father into the segment. Just a real feel good hour.
