Alvin Management (Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks)

"Alvin Management" is the first half of the eighth episode of Season 4 of the 2015 reboot of Alvinnn!!! and the Chipmunks. It first aired on September 30, 2019 in France.

Plot
A therapist is convinced that Dave has anger issues after listening to a series of stories where his various different wild antics cause him to lose his composure and yell at him unjustly. After spending some time at the SeVille home, the therapist is further convinced that Alvin is just "a little boy being a little boy", and that Dave needs to learn to manage his anger.

Why Alvin Should Get His Management

 * 1) This episode is nothing but an 11-minute Dave torture episode as his therapist keeps on acting like Alvin could do no wrong and that he's just a boy being a boy and Alvin keeps on causing trouble just so Dave could get scolded by his therapist for almost rightfully yelling at Alvin when he deserves it.
 * 2) Some of the characters are really unlikable in this episode.
 * 3) *Dave's therapist is really unlikable in this episode as she keeps on acting like that Dave is the reason why Alvin acts like the way he is and whenever Dave's about to yell at Alvin for causing lots of trouble, she keeps on supporting Alvin's bad behavior by saying he's just a boy acting like a boy. She is pretty much the most unlikable character in this episode.
 * 4) *Alvin is really unlikable in this episode as he keeps on trying to push Dave's buttons on purpose by skateboarding in the house which causes Dave's phone to break and he even destroyed Dave's therapist's office, although she deserved it.
 * 5) Some scenes can get really annoying like the scene where Dave sets up traps so he can prove that Alvin is nothing but a bad kid who is doing all these things on purpose and when he shows the tape to his therapist, she thinks Dave's trying to get Alvin in trouble.
 * 6) Like all other episode of the reboot, the animation, while not bad, looks a bit cheap and plastic.
 * 7) Dave's therapist, Dr. Sharpe, constantly yells too much in this episode, which can get on the viewers' nerves.
 * 8) Simon and Theodore have absolutely no reason to appear in this episode, as they only appear while talking to Dave in one scene of the episode, and then, they don't appear or are mentioned again in the rest of the episode.
 * 9) Plot Hole: How could have Alvin destroyed Dr. Sharpe's entire office in just 5 seconds?! That just does not make any sense at all!
 * 10) Dr. Sharpe seems to be from another country and can't speak English clearly and/or normally. She can't even get the words out of her mouth, which can make her very difficult to understand what she is saying when she is speaking to some fans.
 * 11) Bad Ending: Alvin gets off scot-free for destroying Dave's therapist's office, even though Dr. Sharpe deserved it, and it seems that he did it on purpose to keep on being out of control and torturing Dave, not by giving Dr. Sharpe a taste of her own medicine.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Dave is a likable character in this episode as he has a good point about Alvin's behavior and he has every reason to yell at Alvin for his behavior.
 * 2) After the negative feedback of this episode, the therapist, Dr. Sharpe, has never appeared again in the series.
 * 3) At least Simon and Theodore had minor roles, even though they had NO reason to appear.

Trivia

 * Dave’s alarm clock, Alicia, is likely a reference to Amazon Alexa.
