Liv y Maddie

Dove Cameron, playing two major roles in this split-camera show, delivers an endearing feel to the Disney Channel. Liv, who is musically enhanced, shows off her witty side from being in her own television program. The only part that I find unappealing about this character is that Liv plays too much into being in "celebrity mode". Maddie, an ordinary high school athlete, brings in situations some teenagers may face and relate to. Despite their characters' differences, the twin sisters bond together to solve problems. In the end, sticking together as family is key. Some aspects from past Disney Channel shows take place here as well. The obvious would be from the "Suite Life" series which featured real twins, Cole and Dylan Sprouse. The confessionals originating from "Lizzie McGuire" are also added to restate what is going on in Liv and Maddie's minds about the problems they are facing.

As for the comedy factor, it's just bad. The jokes are stale and most of the time, the laugh tracks do not make it any better. However, this show is considered a gem compared to Jessie or A.N.T. Farm. How many people can relate to living in a rich Manhattan penthouse suite or elementary school students in a high school (then transferred away from their parents to a specialized facility)?

EDIT (9/26/13): As of recently, this series has been lukewarm, featuring the warmheartedness of family from Liv, and the crazy antics of Liv and Maddie's two brothers. I will continue to enjoy this as the season progresses.

After several downpours of poor crappy Disney shows like Shake it up. I never thought Disney channel would have any good shows again. But I was wrong!

Liv and Maddie is one of the best Disney Sitcoms in a long time. Dove Cameron does a fantastic job of being under the pressure of playing Liv and Maddie. Everyone does a good job of acting. But what makes it so funny is that the chemistry between them all them goes so well and goes with the flow. The jokes are very good, and the script is written very well. The plot of each episode makes you hang on to the edge of your seat to find out what happens next.

Though there are a couple of flaws. The intro lyrics do NOT make any sense whatsoever, also the poor choices of which scenes to put in the episodes because some do not lead to the pathway plot directions.

Overall it is a fantastic show nearly better than Good Luck Charlie but that show still just steals victory over this masterpiece.

I would rate it a 9/10

Thank you for reading my review

I think this show is very good, the best show produced by Disney channel in a while actually. I like the idea of the two twins being complete opposites of each other and have to teach each other how to survive in each others company. I also think that is very clever that both twins are played by Dove Cameron, who by the way is an extremely talented singer and actress as she is able to play both Liv&Maddie who are both complete opposites. Disney hid the twin thing so well that for a while i thought they were played by 2 actual twins. I also like the other family members like joey, parker, the mom and the dad. I especially think the 2 parents are hilarious! However, the one thing i don't understand is that Liv,Maddie and the parents are all white but Joey is Mediterranean and Parker is Asian and there is no mention of them being adopted. The cast is: Dove Cameron as Liv&Maddie Rooney, Joey Bragg as Joey Parker, Tenzing Trainor as Parker Rooney, Kali Roacha as Karen Rooney and Benjamin King as the dad.

Disney seems to have entered another 'dark age' with its sitcoms. Bland shows that last for 2 seasons tops, low ratings and a lack of fresh ideas.

Liz and Maddie seems to be the last good sitcom this channel had. (Not saying that the shows that aired alongside liv and Maddie were good, but live and Maddie on its own was the last good show.)

Dove Cameron plays both roles really well, and the acting from others is fine as well. Some characters can be written annoying such as Joey, but they have lots of charm. Least favorite character was that friend Maddie has, think name was willow or something. Jokes are more hit and miss than I like, but they do hit.

Biggest problem seems to be that it doesn't have the quality the older Disney sitcoms have. And most of those weren't even that great! If it didn't air on Disney Channel, but on Fox or another cable network as a family friendly sitcom, the show would get a 4. I'm just happy that this show was good at the time it aired.

when I saw the previews for this show all I could think was "o god not another show. "But this show actually really isn't as bad as it looks since all of the shows these days stink, you just start to learn to accept new shows. This is one of those shows.Dov Cameron does a great job playing as a role of both of the twins.(though it is disappointing that liv actually isn't real. But what I really liked about this show was that it was nothing like the new shows. It was humorous but not only that is actually has a plot in the story and they do a pretty good job entertaining you. In words this show is a entertaining and humorous show with likable characters this show deserves a 8/10.
