In the new season fans can watch as Baby Cakes becomes China, IL's Robin Hood after The Dean raises tuition to $500,000 a year, Frank desperately attempts to recreate a perfect lecture he's given, and former President Ronald Reagan returns. In season two, the series has also expanded from its original 15-minute episodes to half hour episodes and is jam-packed with over 50 original songs written and performed by Brad Neely.
