I think all of you are just afraid of change. Get real. The boys are older so it cant have the same plot line as the first. As a person gets older, they can't have the same adventures they had years before. Honestly, the twins are sixteen, not twelve anymore. The same dry and stooge-esquire humor is still there and to be frank, all of the characters are so comfortable in their roles its just a joy to watch them. And they didn't purposely get rid of Maddie, people move on. And sure Bailey isn't Maddie, but that's the point. She's Bailey, not Maddie. Stop being such snobs. Oh, AND this is a Spin off. It's not the original show. So the story is probably not going to be the same as the first series.
