Life Goes On Season 2 has the visual identity that makes it immediately recognisable, and the writing to back it up. Season 2 of Life Goes On includes 22 episodes. It aired from September 1990 to May 1991. This season stars Bill Smitrovich, Patti LuPone and Chris Burke. Bill Smitrovich and Patti LuPone lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 1990. Life Goes On Season 2 uses the freedom of animation to tell stories live-action could not attempt. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Genuinely enjoyable for a wide range of viewers, Life Goes On Season 2 treats animation as a delivery mechanism, not a limitation. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Bill Smitrovich brings more to the role than the format usually demands. A harder one to justify skipping than to start.
