Season Information
|
The Simpsons' second season began on 11th October 1990 with the first episode of the series, "Bart Gets an F" and ended on 11th July 1990 with "Blood Feud". Matt Groening, James L. Brooks and Sam Simon were the show runners of the season, as they also were for the previous season.
While "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish" was the first episode produced for the season, "Bart Gets an F" became the season premiere as Bart was the series' breakout character at the time and the producers wanted to debut with an episode centring on him.
The season had two nominations which were only for "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment" . It won an Emmy award for Outstanding Animated Program (For Programming less than One Hour) and was nominated for "Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special", which it did not win.
All of the 22 episodes of Season 2 including extras such as optional commentaries of all the episodes were released on DVD on 6th August 2002 in Region 1, 8th July 2001 in Region 2 and September 2002 in Region 4.
