The second season of Johnny Bravo premiered on July 2, 1999, on Cartoon Network's Cartoon Cartoon Fridays block. The season ended on January 28, 2000.
In 1997, creator Van Partible and writer Seth MacFarlane wrote a series bible for the second season of Johnny Bravo. Unlike the previous season, there were plans to make a few changes, most notably the introduction of more characters to Johnny's world.
The first four characters were taken from previous episodes and now given more defined roles in Johnny's life. The Man With No Name was to be the mysterious nameless con man from "Jumbo Johnny" who constantly sells him sketchy products, Miss Babe was Little Suzy's "flighty" teacher (and the leader of her Buttercup scout troop) introduced in "Super Duped", Jim Dandy was to be a more original, fleshed-out character based on Donny Osmond who is determined to be Johnny's best friend, while The Mayor was to be the dishonest man from "The Sensitive Male!" after making his way into politics and becoming the Aron City mayor. Holly O'Hair, on the other hand, was to be an entirely new character who sees Johnny as arm candy. The local soda shoppe was also said to be a "perennial favorite" of Johnny's, especially to pick up girls.
All of these ideas eventually got shelved and the Warner Bros. takeover of Hanna-Barbera and Turner Broadcasting occurred. This led to Van Partible getting fired, allegedly due to his lack of experience and management skills, after Warner Bros. had heard that there had been "trouble" on the show (possibly referring to the first season's lower ratings.) The series was then handed over to Warner Bros. producer Gary Hartle and director Kirk Tingblad, whom previously worked on projects such as Animaniacs and Pinky and the Brain, to "see how it [would go.]" With this, the series underwent its first retool. The Man With No Name was retooled into Pops, the mysterious, fatherly, and greedy owner of Johnny's favorite local diner. The character of Jim Dandy was retooled into Carl Chryniszzswics, Johnny's overly positive and geeky best friend. The two characters and Bobo were created by head writer Jed Spingarn. Pops was designed by Hartle and Carl was designed by Tingblad. As a result, Tom Kenny and Larry Drake joined the main voice cast.
According to Tingblad, Hartle and background artist Drew Graybeal were told by Cartoon Network to "make the show how they felt it should look." Hartle decided that the character designs would be more based on shapes and weight than Season 1, redesigning Johnny, Bunny, and Suzy. The humor and tone of the show was also changed to involve more slapstick and snark. This season, produced when Cartoon Network was growing in popularity, had less severe adult humor than the first in order to appeal to censors. However, this did not stop the crew from trying to push those limits and aiming more towards a slightly older audience. The second season also introduced darker elements and implications in certain episodes, such as "Johnny's Inferno", "Johnny's Guardian Angel", and "Brave New Johnny".
Johnny's world was completely redesigned and reworked, seemingly with its own separate continuity from the first season. Two exceptions to this are the use of Suzy's Buttercup Scouts troop in "Den Mother Johnny" and a likely nod to "Bravo Dooby-Doo" in "Good Knight Johnny." There are little references to classic Hanna-Barbera properties as a result, with "crossover" gags (notably in the following season) being brief and reserved for the other Cartoon Cartoons. Although promotional material occasionally refers to the Hartle seasons taking place in Aron City, it is never mentioned by name in any episode and certain comic books refer to it as Anytown.
The second season received notable backlash by fans of Season 1, namely on fan-sites dedicated to the series back in 1999 and cartoon message boards, such as the ToonZone forums (now named Anime Superhero) during the early 2000s. The most common criticism regarded the addition of new characters and the change in art style, along with complaints about Johnny's lack of intelligence. However, there are claims that the show's new, retooled format reached a wider audience and its ratings were much higher as a result.

•Certain concepts were scrapped from the retooled version of the series bible, as evidenced by the Cartoon Network: Name That Toon trivia book and other merchandise. Most notably, Carl was planned to have been Johnny's high school best friend and the diner was to be Pop's Soda Shoppe.
•According to Kirk Tingblad, the show had a small budget. He and Gary Hartle directed with the understanding that the staging of the characters and action would be more left and right based. To make the cheaper animation look more expensive than it actually was, "as many visual tricks as possible" were used.
•The art style change is sometimes compared to the redesigns of The Powerpuff Girls (during the original series) and Dexter's Laboratory, although it should be noted Johnny's world was redesigned before the switch to digital ink and paint animation.
•The style also develops over time, and characters such as Little Suzy get updated redesigns by the end of the season, making them appear more cutesy than earlier episodes such as "Bikini Space Planet!".
•Some promotional images of the characters are more awkward-looking and off-model than the series (i.e. Carl's legs are much longer).
•This is the last season to use traditional cel animation, ending with "Clan Of The Cave Boob".
