Liv and Maddie, titled Liv and Maddie: Cali Style in its fourth season, is an American teen sitcom created by John D. Beck and Ron Hart that originally aired on Disney Channel from July 19, 2013 to March 24, 2017. The series stars Dove Cameron in a dual role as identical twin sisters with entirely different personalities who are best friends, with Liv being an actress who has returned to her home after four years of living in Hollywood staring in a popular television series called Sing It Loud!, and Maddie being a basketball prodigy. The series revolves around Liv readjusting to normal family life after production on Sing It Loud! ended, as well as the two sisters being best friends despite their opposing personalities an different interests. The series also stars Joey Bragg, Tenzing Norgay Trainor, Kali Rocha, and Benjamin King, who portray Joey Rooney, Parker Rooney, Karen Rooney, and Pete Rooney, respectively. Joey and Parker are Liv and Maddie's younger brothers while Karen and Pete are their mother and father. In the final season of the series, Lauren Lindsey Donzis joined the cast as Liv and Maddie's younger cousin Ruby, who becomes their "sorta-sister". Her character replaced Pete, who was absent from the entire fourth season.

Plot

After finishing a four-year stint in Hollywood filming a popular television series called Sing It Loud!, actress Liv Rooney returns to her birthplace of Stevens Point, Wisconsin to the open arms of her family, despite being offered more roles in other series and films. Liv decided to come home because she missed her family and wanted to see them again. She is happily reunited with her identical twin sister Maddie, who is her best friend. Liv is a girly girl who enjoys anytime someone mentions her former career, while Maddie is a tomboy with a facility for basketball who is the captain of her school's basketball team. The twins have two younger brothers: Joey, a typical awkward teen who is one year younger than the twins, and Parker, a clever tween with a mischievous personality and the youngest child of the Rooney family. Their father Pete is the coach for Maddie's basketball team who eventually achieves his dream of becoming the coach of a college team in Beloit, Wisconsin, while their mother Karen is the school psychologist and later vice principal starting in the second season.

In the first three seasons, most events take place at either Ridgewood High, the high school that Liv, Maddie, Joey, and later Parker, due to being a child prodigy, all attend, or the Rooney residence. At the end of the third season, the Rooney house collapses due to a series of tunnels created by Parker and Maddie is accepted into a college in Los Angeles, California. This prompts the rest of the Rooneys, except Pete who remains in Wisconsin to continue his coaching job, to move to Malibu, California, to take up residence with Karen's younger sister Dena and her daughter Ruby, where the series' forth season takes place. In the final episode of the series, all the Rooneys part ways. Liv is invited to perform in a musical called Double Duchess on Broadway, Maddie is given a grant to build tiny houses for the homeless in New Orleans, Joey is invited to go on a comedy tour with Jim Breuer, and Parker is invited to go with his friend Val to a biodome in the salt flats of Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia to study life on Mars.

A significant feature of the series are documentary-style cutaways where major characters and the supporting characters speak to the viewers to explain various things and their opinions on the situations in which they are featured in each episode. In the final episode, it is revealed that the cutaways are part of a reality series that airs in Luxembourg called Bits and Pieces, a reference to Liv and Maddie's working title.

Production

Development

In the spring of 2012, Oops Doughnuts Productions had shopped a script of a project called Bits and Pieces which featured a blended family similar to series like The Brady Bunch and Step by Step.[1] The series followed Jodie Sullenger (Kali Rocha), mother of Alanna (Dove Cameron) and Sticky (Joey Bragg), who married Pete Fickman (Benjamin King), father of Crystal (Cozi Zuehlsdorff) and Brody (Tenzing Norgay Trainor), with all six adjusting to life under the same roof. Eventually, Disney chose to change the concept of Bits and Pieces into one about a pair of twins.[2] Now titled Liv and Maddie, the series began production in April 2013.[3]

The series was produced under a joint venture between Beck & Hart Productions, Oops Doughnuts Productions, and It's a Laugh Productions. The series' creators John D. Beck and Ron Hart are a production-writing team whose credits include According to Jim, Hey Arnold!, and Shake It Up!. They also served as executive producers alongside Andy Fickman, who was the only director who participated in all four seasons of the series. He directed 20 of the 21 episodes of the first series, as well as four of the second season, two of the third series, and four of the fourth season.

On January 13, 2014, Disney Channel renewed Liv and Maddie for a 13-episode second season slated to premiere in fall 2014.[4] The second season was later expanded to 24 episodes.[5] The first season ended on July 27, 2014, and the season season premiered on September 21, 2014. On April 3, 2015, the series was renewed for a third season by Disney Channel.[6] The second season ended on August 23, 2015, and the third season premiered on September 13, 2015. On December 21, 2015, Dove Cameron stated that Disney Channel was picking up Liv and Maddie for a fourth season.[7] On June 19, 2016, series co-creator Ron Hart announced on Twitter that the fourth season would premiere in fall 2016.[8] On July 1, 2016, Dove Cameron stated that they had filmed the series' final episode.[9] On August 19, 2016, it was announced by the series' creators, John D. Beck and Ron Hart, that the final season would be called Liv and Maddie: Cali Style. They also stated that the fourth and final season would premiere on September 23, 2016.[10]

Casting

Casting took place during the spring of 2012;[1] however, only a pilot episode was produced. Instead of hiring a new cast, production chose to keep those whom they had already hired and film a completely new pilot. The story now focused on Dove Cameron playing dual roles with the same parents and brothers. Lead billing for Cozi Zuehlsdorff was later dropped to guest star. The family name of "Rooney" was picked because of Sullenger's enjoyment of the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team owned by the Rooney family.[2]

Music

A full version of the Liv and Maddie theme song, "Better in Stereo", was recorded by Dove Cameron and released as a promotional single by Walt Disney Records on October 15, 2013.[11] A music video was filmed and aired on Disney Channel the night of October 29, 2013.[cal citació] The song was featured twice in the series, first in the season three finale, "Californi-A-Rooney", and then an acoustic version sung by Dove Cameron during the season four and series finale, "End-A-Rooney".

In the pilot, "Twin-A-Rooney", Liv shows Maddie a clip from the Sing It Loud! finale in which Liv's character, Stephanie Einstein, sings a cover of On Top of the World by Imagine Dragons. A full version of the song was recorded by Cameron and released as a promotional single by Walt Disney Records on August 27, 2013.[12]

In "Fa-La-La-A-Rooney", Liv performs the classic "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" during the Steven's Point Holiday Spectacular. A full version of the song was recorded by Cameron and is included on Holidays Unwrapped, a holiday album released by Walt Disney Records on October 15, 2013.[13]

In "Song-A-Rooney", Liv performs "FroyoYOLO". It goes viral, but Liv hates it. In the same episode, Liv performs "Count Me In". A full version of "Count Me In" was recorded by Cameron and released as a promotional single by Walt Disney Records on June 3, 2014.[14]

In "New Year's Eve-A-Rooney", Liv performs "You, Me and the Beat". A full version of the song was recorded by Cameron and released as a promotional single by Walt Disney Records on December 2, 2014.

In "Rate-A-Rooney", Liv uploads "What a Girl Is". Two versions were created: the first being the one shown in the series and the other, including Christina Grimmie and Baby Kaely, was eventually recorded. Both versions are included in the Liv and Maddie soundtrack. The second version was released on iTunes on March 5, 2015, while the original version was released on March 17, 2015. On March 17, 2015, the Liv and Maddie soundtrack was released. The soundtrack includes "Better in Stereo", "On Top of the World", "FroyoYOLO", "Count Me In", "You, Me and the Beat", and both versions of "What a Girl Is". The soundtrack also includes "Say Hey", "As Long As I Have You", and "True Love", of which the last one would be morphed into two versions: Ballad, which would be sung by Jordan Fisher, and a piano duet featuring Jordan Fisher and Dove Cameron. With the announcement of the soundtrack on March 5, 2015, the singles for those songs, minus FroyoYOLO, were discontinued and are no longer available.

In "Prom-A-Rooney", Liv performs "True Love" at the school prom. Like she did with the other songs, Dove Cameron recorded a full version of the song, which was released as part of the Liv and Maddie soundtrack on March 17, 2015.

In "Band-A-Rooney", Liv's band, "The Dream", performs "Say Hey" at the Battle of the Bands. A full version was recorded by Dove Cameron, with the band member's actor doing the chorus. The song was released as part of the Liv and Maddie soundtrack on March 17, 2015.

In "Video-A-Rooney", Liv's band performs "As Long As I Have You". Cameron recorded a full version, which was released as part of the Liv and Maddie soundtrack on March 17, 2015. The song was the final song from the soundtrack that was played in the series.

In "SPARF-A-Rooney", Andy Grammer performs "Honey, I'm Good". This is one of the few songs in Liv and Maddie not to be part of the soundtrack.

In "Sing It Louder!!-A-Rooney", Liv and Ruby perform "One Second Chance" on the set of "Sing It Louder!!" The song was recorded by Cameron and Lauren Lindsey Donzis and released as a promotional single by Walt Disney Records on November 4, 2016.

In "Falcon-A-Rooney", "The Power of Two" is performed again by Liv and Ruby for "Sing It Louder!!". Like the previous song in season four, Dove Cameron and Lauren Lindsey Donzis recorded a full version of the song, which was released on January 20, 2017.

In "Sing It Live!!-A-Rooney, Liv sings "My Destiny" for the special episode of "Sing It Louder!!" (and in the process strains her vocal cords to the point of emergency surgery). Again, a full version of the song was recorded by Cameron and released as a promotional single on March 3, 2017.

Reception

Critical reception

Emily Ashby of Common Sense Media gave the series' quality a rating of three out of five stars, describing it as a "jovial family sitcom" and applicable for ages seven and above. Ashby credited the series' "comical spin" on common family issues, like sibling rivalry, stating that "As is true of most tween-targeted comedies, the series glosses over a lot, especially when it comes to teen issues, but that's what makes it a worry-free pick for kids."[17] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times compared the series to The Patty Duke Show while describing it as "a gentle, moderately amusing comedy" and praising Cameron's portrayal of the down-to-earth Maddie and diva Liv, stating that "the premise gives the writers plenty of opportunities."[18]
