The 24-episode second season of 2 Broke Girls aired during the 2012/2-13 TV season. The show continues to develop not only the main characters of Max and Caroline (played by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs) but also gives expanded storylines and character development for the supporting characters Earl, Oleg, Han, and Sophie (Garrett Morris, Jonathan Kite, Matthew Moy, and Jennifer Coolidge). It continues to be a story-of-the-week sitcom, with the girls navigating some kind of obstacle, a funny situation, a fortuitous event, or the like blended with the larger story of working toward their dream cupcake business, which encounters a lot of twists and turns.
The comedy in the show is much like it was in season one, with many sex jokes and a lot of sarcastic humor. They also amped up the physical comedy this season, mostly involving the character of Caroline, after discovering that Beth Behrs is not only a great physical comedian but is not afraid of looking silly to get a great laugh. The show also introduces a love interest for Caroline, in the form of a candy store owner named Andy (played by Ryan Hansen). There are a ton of great moments in the season including finally meeting Caroline's father (Steven Webber) whom Max totally has a crush on, Earl's estranged son, a horrible stand-up comic (played by Cedric The Entertainer), Oleg's apartment, and two Amish boys on Rumspringa.
The DVD set is a three-disc set. The extras include a panel discussion with the cast and showrunner from one of the film fests, deleted scenes, a featurette on the character of Sophie, a gag reel, and a making-of feature on the second season. All in all, probably around an hour's worth of extras, give-or-take.
Overall, if you liked season one, you will probably like or love season two. On the other hand, if you did not like the first season, there is probably nothing about this season that will appeal to you. If you are looking for a good sitcom, assuming you enjoy the kind of humor in it, it is definitely worth watching.
