The problem there wasn't budget as in money, it was budget as in time. They had revealed that the decision to make a sequel was rather last-minute so the production was rushed for the TV airing, and that was the cause of the production problems, many of which were fixed for the Blu-Rays/DVDs. Here, I don't think they're on quite as much of a time crunch since the sequel appears to have been in the works for quite some time. (And actually, when a first season sells well, it's also rather common that the second season gets a slightly bigger budget, which is useful because second season sales -- particularly for comedies -- tend to drop off a lot.)
