Like the seasons preceding and following it, the second season of "My Life as a Teenage Robot" consisted of 13 full episodes.
However, unlike seasons 1 and 3, season 2 had twenty standard 11-minute segments and two 22-minute specials ("Victim of Fashion" and "A Robot For All Seasons").
In the United States, the season first aired on December 8, 2004 with "A Robot For All Seasons", and finished airing on September 9, 2005 with "Toying With Jenny" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Troubles".
Production[]
The high ratings of season 1 led Nickelodeon to renew the series for a second season in late 2003, and the season entered production in early 2004[1].
Jenny was given a slight redesign for the second season [2], which was used for the remainder of the series. Her eyes have become more rounded and she is now slightly taller.
Production of season 2 continued through the rest of 2004 and into early 2005. With the completion of "Escape From Cluster Prime", production wrapped in March 2005[3].
Near the end of the season's production cycle, a third season was ordered, which entered production as season 2 was wrapping up.
Although season 1 aired in the order it was produced, the other seasons aired out of order in the United States. The first episode produced for season 2, "Victim of Fashion", aired near the end of the season's run, after the next season's "Escape From Cluster Prime". Likewise, the Christmas episode "A Robot For All Seasons", which was the first of season 2 to air in the United States, was actually the fifth episode produced. This causes several continuity errors when viewed in American airing order; for example, the episode "Designing Women", was produced well before "Escape From Cluster Prime", but aired in the United States after the fact.
