3. When I was a kid, my family would vacation every summer at Saint Simons Island. I remember long mornings with my cousins watching kids shows on PBS and eating Froot Loops. Most of the shows we got were the same as what I got in Florida, but there were one or two that weren’t. One of them came on pretty late in the morning, after the top-tier shows, and I’ve spent most of my adult life trying to remember what it was.
