Amy Wallace David Wallace The Road Runner Show

This article originally appeared on The Small Bow on May 11.

Early on Saturday mornings, Amy Wallace’s big brother, David, would wake her from sleep, determined not to miss the start of the cartoons. Their childhood home in Urbana, Illinois, became the setting for a cherished sibling ritual that would leave a lasting impression on Amy.

Settling in front of the television, the siblings waited for the color bars to transition into The Road Runner Show. David, full of restless energy, would eventually sprawl across the carpet, while Amy took her place behind him on the couch. More than 50 years later, the memory of that couch—pea-green, scratchy, and unyielding—remains vivid in Amy’s mind. Yet she gladly endured its discomfort as part of their shared routine.

Their mother, Sally Foster, once described the scene this way: “Amy spent her mornings watching David watch TV.” But the reality was far more nuanced than that.
