Liv e 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.

First, I must say, I am Disney Obsessed. I'm 20 years old, and after watching the channel with my little sister, I got hooked on it. From the good as in Good Luck Charlie to the iffy but alright shows like Shake It Up. What can I say, I'm a kid at heart :)

Anyway! Liv and Maddie is a pretty good new show! The pilot was awesome, the episodes after varied between just as good to alright. My least favorite was the one with Liv in the "smart Olympics". I'm sure the series will only get better though. Dove is a beautiful and talented actress in my opinion, and she's doing a good job playing two completely different girls. Also her singing is beautiful, but I digress. The little brother is kind of annoying, but the rest of the family is funny. And Maddie's friend Willow is funny as heck!

All in all, it's not perfect but its definitely worth watching!! I have hope for it and I think it's a nice replacement for GLC.

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

The show is really just a well written success. Liv and Maddie is an American sitcom created by John Beck and Ron Hart and produced by It's a Laugh Productions for Disney Channel. It stars Dove Cameron playing identical twins. The series began production in April 2013 with a pilot episode aired on July 19, 2013.[1][2] The first promo for the series was seen on Friday, June 28, 2013, after the premiere of a Disney's Mickey Mouse Shorts.

On January 13, 2014, Disney Channel renewed Liv and Maddie for a 13-episode second season slated to premiere Fall 2014.[ ... .... JUST A REALLY COOL SHOW

Liv and Maddie is surprisingly good. I was expecting an OK show that was somewhat entertaining, instead it is a show that has charm, great comedic timing and is pretty darn adorable. The lead actress who plays both the twins (Dove Cameron) is extremely talented and also has a beautiful voice. She captures the viewers attention and is definitely the star of the show.

Most of the episodes have been strong too with only the occasional weak one. Always a bonus with kids shows as they can be hit and miss. Out of all the Disney shows on air at the moment this is definitely the one I would recommend you watch. It's perfect light, funny entertainment and you can't help but smile when you watch it.
