Season 2

The 2nd 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.
This is the first season to finally include Treehouse of Horror, as well as the first season to have 20 episodes. This is also the first season to have its episodes air in October.

==Trivia==
* This is pretty much the season that made The Simpsons into what it is today (Minus a few kill-offs and changes in character personalities). Here are the following reasons why:
** 1 of the examples is that this is the 1st season to be at least 20 episodes long, due to the very 1st season produced being only 13 episodes long.
** Pretty much there is a lot of firsts with this season. Here is another first: this is the 1st season to have a Treehouse of Horror episode (That being the original one from 1990).
** This is the 1st season to have Hank Azaria and Harry Shearer as part of the main cast crew, as they were only recurring members throughout the whole 1st season, and that's all.
** This is the first season to be produced in the 1990s.
** Many more characters you'd see on the show had more spotlight this season, just like how much spotlight they would have now. Examples being: Ned Flanders' role in Dead Putting Society, Reverend Lovejoy in The War of The Simpsons, Abe Simpson II in Old Money, and Principal Skinner in Principal Charming, among others.
* This season's production code is 7Fxx.
* This is the first season to use the 1990-2009 title sequence, as the title sequence in the previous season had slight, but noticeable differences between this version. This sequence was used for almost 20 years, all the way up until Season 20, when it was reanimated and advanced to be updated to the new 16:9 widescreen TV format.
* This is the 1st season to update the overall art style of the show a little bit. There are more vibrant and appropriate colors (Like the sky becoming brighter, as well as the color of the school changing from a lavender-gray to a tangerine or orange color), and the characters animation is more crispier and refined than Season 1's animation.
* This is the last season of the show where all episodes were not holdovers from the previous season. Beginning the next season, some episodes (Usually the first row/batch of episodes) are holdovers, like the last 2 episodes of this season in production-code order.
* This is also the last season to feature James L. Brooks, Matt Groening & Sam Simon as the show's showrunners. Other people would become the showrunners after they step down from that job or role, which would start off beginning with the very next season.
