(S02E03) Sex was the topic of the day in and around the 'United States of Tara,' with nearly everyone questioning, experimenting, wondering and musing about the subject. Gay, straight, bi and variations on a theme. There was something about dogs in a bathtub that's still beyond me. But for the real skinny on how Tara's getting on, follow me after the jump and join the free skate.

I quite enjoy many of the old cartoons from the Fleischer brothers, such as Betty Boop and Popeye, but their Superman cartoons, which aired in the early forties and are now available on DVD, never really turned me on. I think they were well-made, I was just never a big fan of Superman, I felt he lacked the vulnerability that made other heroes so interesting. Vintage Tooncast, one of many animation podcasts I subscribe to, has been showing a ton of these old Superman cartoons, so if you liked them, mosey on over and root through the archive. The other cartoons he has up are all worth checking out, as well.

If you don't know who those six characters are just by their first names, well then, shame on you, and you obviously didn't grow up in the early 90's. They are the main cast from the one, the only, Saved By the Bell. This brilliant piece of broadcasting was shown on Saturday mornings from 1989-1993, launched a number of careers, spawned countless spinoffs and impostors, and as of this morning, can be bought from the iTunes music store. Right now, they're only selling Season 1, but I'm sure the rest will follow shortly (personally I can't wait for the "Summer Season" with the voice of Pumba and a young Leah Remini). The classic Schoolhouse Rock shorts, along with the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Video Special ( a move that I'm sure will make for many a happy valentine's day today across the nation), are also available through the online store today.
