Season 2

The second season began on October 11, 1990 with the first episode, "Bart Gets an "F"" and ended on July 11, 1991 with "Blood Feud." Matt Groening, James L. Brooks and Sam Simon were the show runners of the season, as they were for the first 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 centering on him.

The second season had two Emmy nominations, both of them for "Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment." The episode also won the Emmy award for Outstanding Animated Program and was nominated for "Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy Series or a Special," which it did not win.

All 22 episodes of Season 2, including extras such as optional commentaries of all the episodes, were released on DVD on August 6, 2002 in Region 1, July 8, 2002 in Region 2 and September 2002 in Region 4.
