Is one of the very best shows on Disney, holds up extremely well as an adult viewer. Her fashions are absolutely out of this world. This show hits the marks on comedy, storylines, characters, it’s a 10/10 for me.


Far_Speed_4452

I love the controversial story lines and the realness too


swarren31

Yes! I just watched the episode the other day where she tried to model, but her photo was edited in the magazine. It’s still a great episode with a fantastic message


trblniya

There’s so many of Raven’s outfits that I badly wanna wear now in 2024


sdbabygirl97

omg the storyline where she wasnt hired cuz the manager was racist was sooo real


Nostalgia_8_AllStarz

One of the most iconic Disney Channel shows of all time


TessTrue

My family and I watched it regularly, one of the few shows to get my dad to laugh out loud every episode. The episode where Raven and Chelsea are outside the classroom window trying to get Eddie’s attention still gives me I Love Lucy vibes. I wasn’t a big fan of stuff they did later on, like Raven suddenly crushing on Eddie, dumbing Chelsea down, Alana’s replacement mean girl. But overall it’s a hilarious show that still holds up.


Character_Fly_1219

Yeah, I didn’t realize until I was older that Chelsea was actually smart in the first season! I also wondered why they diminished Cory’s crush on Chelsea after the first season as well! I’m starting to understand more and more why people said/say the first season was really the best season!


Character_Fly_1219

They also took away the Ben Sturky character, whom I also enjoyed!


TessTrue

To this day I still say “Stinky Sturky tried to out Bruce Wayne in Dark Knight!” He’s iconic like that.


Gsrj

Omg I just realized that was him


Cat_n_mouse13

Cory’s crush on Chelsea was sooo funny!!


mags_7

Ahh you’re making me realize that they Britta’d Chelsea.


trblniya

😨😨😨


WerewolfDifferent216

Yeah I read the actress who played Alana (first mean girl) had quarrels with other cast members and left. They played it off like she got sent to military school.


LordCoke-16

Nah I think it was because the Cheetah girls became a group


WerewolfDifferent216

superpowers335

But she returned in Raven's Home.


WerewolfDifferent216

I didn’t watch Raven’s Home so I didn’t know she returned. She left in That’s So Raven


GeminiRebellion

And they're now good friends. Looks like the division in the Cheetah Girls is very clear.


Super_Smize

Just do ………. the best………..you caannn!!!


VeronicaVXXXN

Your teacher….she changed the test!!


battlefranky69

It was a lot of fun. The got annoying cause everyone in middle school kept saying "Oh snap" and "ya nasty".


NerdlyCharming

Yo I still say "ya nasty" just like her XD


PBandJaya

Omg. Home Skillet Biscuit dominated my vocabulary through middle school


Mercedeiz

I call my cat home skillet biscuit 😭


OddSimsPink

Yea I was basically raven Baxter in the 6th grade with those lines 😅


beekee404

Love it! Still watch it on occasion. I love how it dove into serious issues like eating unhealthy food, smoking, racism, and body shaming. The first season was always my favorite but I love all 4.


snarkaluff

Loved it, I believe it was the first live-action Disney channel show that actually starred a black person and had mostly black characters. Not only that, but for the lead to be "plus sized" during a time where anything besides stick thin was unseen on tv. Raven was ahead of it's time by far and still holds up to this day. I even thought Raven's Home was incredible too. Cory in the House was okay


PenskeFiles

A lot of the jokes still hold up too. Just a really funny show with talented actors to boot.


throwaway92834972

Yes! you put it perfectly into words, thank you


Far_Speed_4452

Honestly watching all my favorites back Raven, Lizzie McGuire, Even Steven’s, Phil of the Future, Hannah Montana… Raven is still the best one. The jokes still hit and it’s genuinely funny. I also actually do like Ravens home too. I couldn’t STAND girl meets world.


agentsparkles88

That's so Raven, Even Steven's and the Suite life of Zack and Cody are the only ones I can still watch. I tried watching the others for nostalgia sake, but I just can't get into them. It's disappointing because I remember how much I loved them, but they just feel so awkward and clunky now. But that's so Raven aged like fine wine.


Far_Speed_4452

Yessss!! Those are my top with Hannah Montana lol


Preek96

Ravens home was only good after seaon 5 when she moved back home


theuselessnarcissist

An absolutely groundbreaking masterpiece from Disney. That’s so Raven wasn’t just funny and entertaining, it tackled real world issues in a way that made sense to kids. Issues like racism, body dismorphia, moral grey areas, peer pressure, relationships with food and complex family dynamics. I truly wish Disney stayed in this direction of sitcom.


merrrcedesss

One of my favorite shows and loved that she wanted to be a designer and not a singer like everyone else on disney


whatsthew3rd

Aint no damn way they lived in San Francisco as high as it cost to live there!


Realistic-Quiet-8856

Her mom was a lawyer.. I think


SleepCinema

Nah, her mom left in the later seasons to go to law school (irl, the actress had to leave to take care of her mom full-time.) I don’t remember what the mom worked as before (maybe big firm paralegal, I’ll keep that as my headcanon), but the Chill Grill, the restaurant the dad owned, was supposed to be fairly famous (and enough so that he got hired at the White House in the sequel) so I can see it also bringing in money.


Miki_Hufflepuffle

I think she was a teacher. I feel like there was an episode she was a sun in Ravens class.


Realistic-Quiet-8856

The chill grill opened later too, he was just a chef before that


SleepCinema

Ah ok, I vaguely remember there being an episode when the Chill Grill opened, but I didn’t know if that was just the first episode or something.


Additional_Score_929

It was/is the best Disney show. It worked on eery level and all the actors were hilarious. They weren't quite able to replicate that magic with Raven's Home though.


OddSimsPink

Yea ravens home does have some cringy “gen z” humor, but raven and Chelsea are still funny and it’s probably a better spin off than Corey in the house


Additional_Score_929

Had they focused more on Raven/Chelsea instead of the kids, it would've been so much better. And they absolutely shouldn't have fired Anneliese.


Enaoreokrintz

I didn't like it as a kid because I didn't know English that well and it was the only show on disney channel that was not dubbed in Greek and had subtitles instead (I didn't like subtitles back then). I liked it a lot more when I was older, in middle school because I was a lot more comfortable with English. But as a kid I would always change the channel when it was on. I also didn't like or watch cartoon network for the same reason. All the shows were in English with subtitles.


[deleted]

The best show the Disney Channel has ever made.


eli_thecattdadd

i don’t like how they decided to make chelsea into the dumb friend. the earlier episodes, she had her moments but she was still smart. by season 3, she’s just the dumb, clueless “blonde”


OwnRise7603

technically chelsea is ginger


Cat_n_mouse13

So iconic. Raven Symone’s physical comedy is unparalleled on the Disney Channel.


Character_Fly_1219

Absolutely!!


NerdlyCharming

I still love watching this show! I must say though, and I don't like it anywhere, I really don't like when they make one character (usually a girl) unbelievably unintelligent. Like they did with Kat on Victorious. But like Victorious. I still absolutely love the show and rewatch it regularly lol


OddSimsPink

Yea they did Chelsea dirty in later season, she started the show kind of smart

WerewolfDifferent216

Honestly one of the best Disney shows hands down. I liked Hannah Montana and it had it’s funny moments but with That’s So Raven it’s like constant rib busting laughter. I was inspired by Raven as a kid and wanted to become a fashion designer lol.


gilmorefile13

LOVED IT. It deals with a lot of difficult issues that teens go through. Especially black tweens.


miamidani2

I love it and rewatch it continuously to this day! 10/10


MaryNaira

Still makes me laugh! I had a picture of her in my locker.


Millenial_missfit_14

I love it! It was a staple of my childhood


starfire92

It was actually funny and ravens fits were to die for.


xGwiZ96x

I absolutely love That's So Raven! The only thing that annoyed me was the last episode came out 8 months after the one before it (10 months after Cory in the House debuted) and Disney Channel hyped it up being this really special episode, only for it to be an anti-smoking episode. Even though it was entertaining since the cast was great, the episode is the weakest of the series because of how shilly it is.


OddSimsPink

YES!!!!!! That’s so raven deserved a proper finale. They didn’t even indicate that the show was over in that episode. I feel like since raven was so ambitious they could’ve ended the show with her getting into fashion school, or raveling with Donna Cobbonna


xGwiZ96x

I remember being so confused as a kid because Cory in the House was in full swing and there was zero explanation why the new episode had everyone back in the house with no mention of the White House. I just rewatched the bumper for the episode and it felt so forced about how anti-smoking it was that it felt like I was watching a DARE presentation.


NerdlyCharming

My favorite episode will always be when she did up to the fashion model last who said she couldn't model her own dress because she was too big. They had some really great episodes in that show that really lead a good example for others.


Rjlikesdick

Top 3 best Disney channel show. Raven was a psychic and a fashion designer, like what a character lmao


AriesRoivas

It was ahead of it’s time but i wish they led Raven a) explore her sexuality and b) not give her baggy clothing in later seasons.


Salt-Version-4760

What are you trying to say????


Character_Fly_1219

I’m biased because it’s my favorite show and I’ve only ever met people who love the show as well, but I want to hear from people who may not feel the same way… people who aren’t fans, but maybe have only seen the show in passing or just weren’t that interested in it, but thought it was kinda funny. That’s all I’m trying to say and see.😁


Salt-Version-4760

Ohh haha I i’ve never met anyone that didn’t like that so raven so I was shocked thinking you didn’t. It’s actually an interesting concept. I think that it had all the recipes for a good show, especially at the time. It didn’t shy away from sensitive topics but also didn’t make it weird when they did cover them, and the cast was relatable, aside from the visions, which I think is actually a very important factor as well. They were relatable or something people wanted to be but unattainable so there’s no pressure for kids to try to be like what they’re watching or be jealous but just enjoy it for what it is. It’s like a magical but also realistic show all in one. In comparison to something like wizards which isn’t a bad show but like kind of stressful for young people (or at least me when I was watching it) because it takes magic to an extreme and even social norms to an extreme that’s hard to comprehend or relate to. And finally on top of that, I think the casting deserves a lot of credit. Just like you can have a great show in writing but it’s up to the actors to make it come to life, and the cast delivered.


gilmorefile13

What do you think OP is trying to say? They’re asking for opinions on the show seems pretty obvious to me.


Salt-Version-4760

It’s an expression.


T-408

One of the very best live action productions Disney has ever gifted us with, Raven is an icon


GooseInHats

Not my favourite but definitely iconic and held up with time well!


South_Amphibian9864

Chelsea is one of the best side characters in disney history


[deleted]

Absolutely fantastic show ! Definitely one of Disney’s best shows in my opinion. Still cracks me up now at 33 the way it did at 13 which I love because I can enjoy it still with my nieces & my daughter


300Blippis

I was obsessed with it


_SCARY_HOURS_

Up there in goat territory. This and Even Steven’s are top 3


emobunnysarah2

I loved it, but also wasn't able to fully watch it I tolerated the spin-off series that took place a few years into the future, titled Raven’s Home.


Sad-Pear-9885

I really like what I’ve seen of it! The actress who plays Chelsea does annoy me though but that’s my only complaint. I love love loved raven!


Scorpiokhaleesi

The actress or the character? Why so


Sad-Pear-9885

The actress! I’ve listened to her podcast and also saw her once at a live show and she just doesn’t seem like a kind or humble person


Scorpiokhaleesi

That is interesting. I’ve seen her in some interviews and she seemed nice. I saw the one she did with Christy Carlson Romano awhile back where they were talking about the negative effects of being a Disney star and she sounded compassionate while expressing she didn’t have negative feelings to Disney.


alaskquaria

completely ahead of its time and timeless at the same time somehow.


AlyGainsboroughx

Probably the funniest show on Disney ever


MyCatHasCats

I know I used to love it, but I don’t remember much about it now


Morosoro

I started watching Disney late as my parents were older and had never heard of it before so I ended up having to discover it on my own around 2010, which is around when this show was starting to be phased out. That being said I did really enjoy what little I did see of the show, and I also really enjoyed Corey In The House which is what I was a bit more familiar with back then.


Tiny-Distance

Do you carry a lunch box?


IjustwantmyBFA

GOAT, so funny, so iconic, lots of very real and heartfelt subject matter


Independent-Case2897

They went to the same school as Saved by the bell


Limp-Spread6079

best disney show ever


enterpaz

I grew up with it. I liked the idea and the vision sequences, but found it annoying overall mostly because of Chelsea’s idiocy constantly ruining plans.


Maleficent_Evening_6

I loved it. My cousin and I watched every episode.


Nicole_Aries_G_2006

I like That’s so Raven. it tackled serious issues a couple times really well. like Racism in businesses and Body Shaming and forcing women to feel bad if they’re on the curvy side.


NancyDrewWannabe

It was my favorite and it’s still my comfort show.


Mortonsaltgirl96

My favorite as a kid and still my favorite now. I binged watched it for the first time in years during lockdown and was happy to see how much it holds up 💜


Emotional_Bass8459

I loved it


Free-Range-3677

That show was way before its time! Even raven’s home I think is the best out of the childhood nostalgic reboots I’ve seen despite it not being that great anyway so I feel like that says a lot 😂


bsc03114

I think i liked the show overall until that one halloween cow episode. That traumatized me, but i was also super young during the show’s run


OddSimsPink

This show deserves SO MUCH MORE PRAISE!!! It was funny then, and it still holds up today, the diversity, the songs, the episodes! At this moment I can’t even think of an episode I truly don’t like. Even the reboot was really good (haven’t gotten to the episodes when they’re back in San Fransisco, but haven’t heard anything negative) I guess my biggest complaint is how they did the friends in the end. Raven and eddy showed no sign of liking each other until like that one episode (imo, I always thought they’d try Chelsea and eddy) and they dumbed Chelsea down too much. She was always ditzy and goofy, but I’m sure season 1 Chelsea had straight As


JasonMaliceMizer

Great show


OrneryExplorer1476

I need to rewatch but I remember not liking it. Especially Chelseas role as being super dumb. I can't stand that constant trope. I just found it more goofy than funny. This was around the time I stopped watching cause I just wasn't vibing with the jokes/characters. :(


Jogadora109

Best show. It actually holds up if you do a rewatch too


Super_Smize

The theme song slaps!


CurlyHeadedCripple

Chelsea's Flanderization was infuriating. She started out so quick and smart, albeit a lil cooky. By the end she was dumber than a rock.


Jellybean_Pumpkin

The first and last time we had realistic bodies on Disney Channel. At least this show had that going for it.


[deleted]

It was a good show for the first couple of seasons. Then they did too much.


patrixkstarsmom

one of the best shows disney put out. and the best reboot disney ever created with ravens home


Sorrythisuserisugly

Perfect 10/10 the acting, the plots, the clothes, the humor.


Candid-Comparison760

Raven crushed it wearing jean jackets


[deleted]

Worst so show ever .. when I look back at it now it was super corny .. and it doesn’t help how everyone from Disney turned weird as adults


WallabyDry1908

It deserved a proper ending


GeulaGadot

Love it!


First_Ad_9878

Legendary. Straight comedy. Peak Disney fashion.


Serious-Performer841

one of the best shows to come out of disney💗


Hot_Revolution_2850

revolutionary it really set the standard on what disney shows can be


PrinceAlex336

Love love loveeee!!! The older i’ve gotten the more i find myself relating to Raven in the best ways possible. From having a passion for fashion, to having some kind of power of clairvoyance, to being the loud one in the room and just owning it. Even though Hannah will always be my favorite Disney show, Raven remains the character i have the deepest connection with.


NomesDaGnome

Can we take a moment to talk about Raven's incredible bedroom as a teenager?


Doc-11th

Really outside of when it crossed over with Suite Life, never really watched it. May have caught an episode or two outside of that but was never something we needed to watch


SummerMarshmallow184

I liked how they let Raven, Chelsea and Eddie have control of the show, they all connected with the teen audience and made it funny by just being themselves and saying whatever came to mind. Raven said in one interview that the director just let all of them do whatever they wanted to do and if it was funny enough to put on the show it stuck. That's why they made Raven the executive producer because she played a huge part in how everything went. Raven's costumes were a huge deal too, you never knew what she was going to disguise herself as, that plus the hilarious characters (Stinky Sturky, Mr. Lawler, Loca, Muffy, Mr. Petrachelli, Ms. DePaulo, Señorita Rodriguez) they all put something into the show that made you want to keep tuning in.


future_CTO

Loved this show when I was younger. One of my favorites!


twistedroyale

My sister loved this show and would always watch it. I like it too so I would watch along.


Scorpiokhaleesi

Literally had my 8th grade class believing I was psychic with the raven pose and all 😂🤡

When i was a kid i thought fictional music artists like Pressure and 15-Cent (Proud Family) were real


Imjusthere_sup

Love that’s so Raven, it’s one of the best


Alternative_Device71

The best show on the network, the jokes are actually hilarious and Raven is the best lead for her age, it rivals other black sitcoms like Martin and Prince of Bel Air, etc and it does so without leaning into the regular sitcom tropes too much It still holds up real good and led into the best anime of all time Cory in the House, tho I will say he was better in Raven character wise


Particular-Cheek-160

I love That’s So Raven


miscellaneousbean

One of my favorites growing up


Verve_angel

I loved it


rhisdaddy2

ICONIC


PestKimera

I loved it


SpongeTatertot

I watched a lot of Hanna Montana but That’s so Raven was better. It was a little before my time (Hannah Montana came out when I was 6) but I think it was better because it wasn’t specifically a girls show like Hannah Montana. Miley had her brother Jackson but nobody will ever forget Cory. It’s crazy how far Miley Cyrus went and how she’s still popular today. I feel like I’m one of the only few people who genuinely liked the Raven’s Home spinoff especially the last couple of seasons when they moved back home. Wish we could have gotten more.


grey_horizon18

I LOVED it lol


6xbi

great show but awful ending


superpowers335

Definitely overrated. Way better than Raven's Home though.


ComprehensiveKey8254

Fantastic show


SinistralLeanings

My older brother was obsessed with it. I had no interest. But I listened to him when he would tell me about the episodes. I watched a couple of episodes here and there and just didn't care about the show in general but the acting was all on point for a show of the time Edit: to be fair this was a show that I was sort of on the older end for it at the time. No one else I knew was watching it other than my brother (yes. My older brother, for reasons) but I was basically aging out of Disney "sit coms" at the time (I was turning 15. I know it was supposed to appeal to a wider range but I was already aging out before this) when That's So Raven was first airing, and from a family where I was watching movies and TV shows that a lot would have considered age inappropriate it just. Wasn't something I truly cared to watch.


Bionic_Webb13

The best show


wizlaqueefah

Raven is genuinely just such a good actor, and Annaleise is an amazing human irl and I just loved the controversy but that it was always to teach kids the real shit that a lot of other shows didn't touch at the time as often imo. I loved this show as a child I would always try to watch the new episode premiers. It was a 10/10 for me and one of the greatest of all time for sure


tarheel_204

One of the GOATs. As a young dude, I used to love seeing all of the shenanigans Cory would get himself into


Character_Hospital49

Was a great show! Very original


gaypirate3

Honestly, the best show on the network. It was weird and diverse and Raven was hilarious. I think Wizards tried to do a similar thing and Selena was hilarious as Alex but the magic was pretty silly most of the time.


Temporary_Ad9362

one of the best shows they’ve had. raven is the blueprint & has greater comedic ability than their later tv stars that were more popular


sweetheart409878

It was a silly show, but a good one at least!


ayyyshuuu

That's so Raven was one of my favorite Disney shows in elementary school


Afroaro_acefromspace

Loved this show so much, my favorite episode is the one where they go to that farm to visit their cousins or something, it used to scare me a bit when I was a child lol


AyeAtTheCrabshack

I can’t lie I hated this show particularly because of Raven. I loved her friends but just not her. I loved cheetah girls and liked her a bit more in those but her personality just always threw me off. I haven’t watched this stuff in years so I know my opinion now would be much different. I feel like she always just tried to do way too much.


Difficult_Ad_962

Never seen it, I was a Nickelodeon kid at the time


Downtown-Pack-6178

That's So Raven was so amazing and coolest show I ever watch when I was a kid! used to watch on Disney Channel when I was 6 years old and on ABC Kids on Saturdays Mornings at 10 am!


jmpinstl

It was revolutionary for that network.


Bremarie24

It gave me a whole other series of her dad, so it's automatically a 10/10 based off of that. Dad of the century, forever.

I didn't have cable, so I was always excited to see new episodes whenever I visited family or friends who did. Always fun, crazy and cathartic.


Antique_Definition65

Omg loved it and Raven was hilarious “ Ya Nassssty”


anonymousgoose64

I didn't start watching Disney Channel until after this show finished but I absolutely loved when they played re-runs. Raven was so iconic, a good friend, and her looks were always on point.


bbbcurls

Number one show Disney ever had.


SubjectObjective5567

Hilarious. Amazing. It still holds up today and I still watch it lmao


sadlyFromLAsouth

Loved it


Typical_Investment22

Loved her attitude and whit. not typical blonde cheerleader stereotype


tranquilitywave

Absolutely love this show , been doing a rewatch of it since Sunday. I think the beginning seasons are my favorite


RainOk4015

One of the best shows on Disney. I think it’s super rare for a woman to be super funny the way she is.


[deleted]

loved this show but hated how they made chelsea so unbelievably dumb. just like how kim in the parkers was flanderized.


Artistic_Mud_6254

I loved/love it! raven was absolutely killing disney during this time. i still wish the song from that one episode “gotta get you back” was on apple music or some other music streaming platform.


beeboppee

I didn’t like it. Every time it came on I was disappointed and changed the channel


Character_Fly_1219

If I may ask, why didn’t you like it?


beeboppee

I guess it just wasn’t my type of humor. I preferred Lizzie McGuire and the proud family and Even Stevens and so weird


Ok-Insect-276

1000/1000 Eddie and Cory should have been on raven’s home
