The second season of the animated sitcom Home Movies aired in the United States on the television network Cartoon Network from January 6, 2002 to March 31, 2002. The season aired on the network's Adult Swim programming block, every Sunday and Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. Central time and 10:00 p.m. Eastern time. Co-founders Brendon Small and Loren Bouchard, along with Tom Snyder, served as executive producers for the season. Small and Bill Braudis acted as writers for the season, while Bouchard was director for each episode.
The season follows 8-year-old Brendon Small, who writes, directs, and stars in several homemade film productions that he creates with his friend Melissa and Jason, as he gets to know his father. His mother Paula struggles with finding a new job after being fired from her position as a creative writing teacher at a local college. Meanwhile, Brendon and Melissa's soccer coach, John McGuirk, is an alcoholic who constantly becomes involved with the kids' lives and gives them bad advice on life.
The main cast for the season consisted of Small, Janine Ditullio, H. Jon Benjamin, and Melissa Bardin Galsky.Louis C.K. also served as a recurring guest star throughout the season as Brendon's father. Though the first season of the series utilized producer Snyder's "squigglevision" animation style, season 2 was redesigned to a more "conventional" Flash animation style. Viewers felt that the new look was more attractive and easily accessible in comparison to the previous season.
