The second season is just as good, if not better than the first. Still showcasing that brand of cynical comedy that I love so much. The most notable thing about the second season is the addition of Danny DeVito as the father of Dennis and Dee. I was worried that he wouldn't quite work in this show as he is a completely unnecessary addition, apparently suggested by the FX network to get a famous name in to gain viewers. Luckily, my concerns were put to rest as DeVito fits right in with the gang, playing Frank as a crazy, shallow douche just like his children and their friends.The other change is that there's an extra bit of continuity thrown in this time around. This usually entails the gang getting into trouble for something at the end of an episode and later on they'll deal with the consequences and other stuff along those lines. The show is still covering a variety of topics in dickhead ways and there really aren't any bad episodes in this run. "Mac Bangs Dennis' Mom" is one of my favorites, it's all enjoyable stuff. This seasons a tad longer than the first which is wonderful because its incredibly funny.
