Plot development
Unlike other seasons, season 2 has very little plot development. It uses facts established in season 1, but never gets beyond that.

The season does get a lot of facts across though, and introduces Farnsworth's "son", Cubert Farnsworth. Richard Nixon's head is also elected as the President of Earth; a plot point that is addressed in many future episodes.

Production
Writing for season 2 began shortly after season 1 had begun airing, David X. Cohen recall conceptuating parts of the plot of "The Problem with Popplers" on an aeroplane in August 1999.
