50 free Liv and Maddie trivia questions with answers. Liv and Maddie ran for 80 episodes on Disney Channel from 2013 to 2017, and it pulled off something no other tween sitcom was attempting: one actress playing identical twins in almost every scene, with a look-alike double's back of the head standing in for the shot. This quiz covers the whole run, from the pilot that was originally a completely different show, through Space Werewolves, Voltage and the Rooney house collapsing, to the fourth season in Malibu that was retitled Cali Style. Easy questions cover the family, the catchphrases and the town; medium ones get into the boyfriends, the bands and the guest stars; the hard end asks about creators, production trivia, ratings, awards and what the cast did afterwards, including the lead's Daytime Emmy and her later chart hit. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and other published sources, and the citation sits under each question, so you can settle a sibling argument on the spot. Good for anyone who grew up on the show, parents who watched along, or fans of the star's later work.
