Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about Raven's psychic powers. The series treats her ability to see the future as quite plausible -- as opposed to make-believe -- and younger kids may be confused. How do kids think they'd cope with a similar ability? Would it be fun or problematic? Families might also talk about what makes Raven such a positive role model.

    Great show!

    This is probably Disney's best TV series. There is some romance, like some kissing, but nothing else. Plus, Raven and the gang are so funny!! I always laugh when I see this. Even adults will laugh at this awesome comedy. 5 STARS!!!!

    Excellent!!

    I love this show! It has a moral to almost every episode! This is one of the best shows! And It doesn't circle on dating too much like all the other shows on Disney Channel! It perfect! No wonder they don't show it anymore! Cuz it's GREAT!

    One of Disney Channel's best

    "That's So Raven" was one of Disney Channel's greatest sitcoms. It lasted from 2002 to 2007 and had 100 episodes. It was wholesome, had good values, and never had edgy humor like some TEENick shows. I got tired of it, though, after watching numerous reruns on Disney Channel and ABC. If you haven't seen it, check it out because it's a good show!
