Oops, didn’t watch; recap for me.
Missed first DD (air bags); got 2/3 of the 2nd, 3rd was easy. Stumped by final, should have known it.
Knew the bond/Oscar winner; the protective feature.
It was another great game, and Dargan remained as the Jeopardy champion. Well, I performed about average in the game, and went with Walter Cronkite for FJ. Regarding Tom Brokaw, I was less than impressed with his initial NBC news coverage of the 1991 Gulf War. In fact, I had since regretted not tuning onto the round the hour cable news telecast instead. After that, I said goodbye to the NBC news with Tom Brokaw. Okay, I ranted long enough.
Amanda’s daily double was brutal. It should have been one of the three names
