Detention-A-Rooney (Liv and Maddie)

"Detention-A-Rooney" is the 11th episode of the second season of mh:besttvshows:Liv and Maddie, as well as the 32nd episode overall.

Plot
Parker misbehaves to get detention so he won't have to partake in an embarrassing mother-son pageant. Meanwhile, both Liv and Maddie get sick at the same time, and it's up to Pete to take care of them.

Why it's Mixed

 * 1) There are some parts that are gross and flanderized the characters while there are also parts that are actually pretty good.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) This episode flanderized some of the Liv and Maddie characters in the show, as they did unlikable things. Karen because she made Parker partake in the embarrassing mother-son pageant, Parker because he misbehaved to get detention, and Maddie because she acted so childish and needy when sick.
 * 2) This episode is gross in several parts: because of the twins getting sick (Liv vomited into the family's toaster and her own beach bag), because of Parker scraping gum that looked like Gummy from the terrible SpongeBob SquarePants episode "The Gift of Gum", and worst of all, Joey ate out of the toaster Liv vomited into, and enjoyed it. That last part is also a reason for flanderization.
 * 3) This episode doesn't have Liv nor Maddie as the main character of it, and they are the true protagonists of the show.
 * 4) It was kind of annoying how Artie's minions were giving Joey too much attention.

Good Qualities

 * 1) Seeing Karen dressed as a mermaid was great, because it felt like a shout-out to mh:greatestmovies:The Little Mermaid.
 * 2) At least at the end, Liv and Maddie fully recovered and were back to themselves.
 * 3) This episode introduced Dump Truck to the show, and he became a recurring character later on.
 * 4) The intro of this episode is good because it's nice to see Joey and Parker playing video games together, because it's good to see Joey and Parker bond over their mutual love for video games.
 * 5) While it's gross to see Liv and Maddie sick, it's still relatable since getting sick is natural. If you've ever had nasal congestion before, it's relatable seeing Maddie nasally congested and having to blow her nose a lot.
