Season 5 is Funny

[alltvlover · 8/10 · 26 March 2022]

I watched seasons 1-4 and they were fine. We'll season 4 was weird when Nia changed her acting style. But season 5 with the new changes are funny. It only has 7 episodes so I guess they feeling out the changes.

Brings me back

[justluvme · 8/10 · 20 August 2017]

I actually grew up watching that's so raven. When I heard there was gonna be a spin-off I was a little Weary about it. I wasn't sure how they were gonna go about it with everyone being all grown up but they did a good job. Bringing Chelsea back was also a great idea they have such good chemistry. I'm sure this show will do great in the years to Come!

Super Cool Show Except 4.....

[foofyanne · 8/10 · 19 December 2020]

I was always a BIG "Thats So Raven" Fan and was very Happy to see this show Come on but..2 thing really bring this show down. Levi & Nia...The kid playing that part is really not a very good actor I think they should have gotten some one a little more talented and he's NOT Funny. My biggest Complaint is that Sickening Fake, Talentless Falsetto Speaking Nia/Navia Robinson!! Not sure why they have her character being so WEIRD but I Simply Can NOT Stand LOOKING at her or Listening to her voice all of the sudden this season she started speaking in that monotone falsetto deep emotionless voice. I hate the way she tries to interfere in Tess's relationship ( especially the X-mas episode with Ramon's gift for Tess). She has this air about her that she thinks sh'e better than Booker ( he's really a GREAT Actor) I could go on & On... they should some how get rid of her character. Have her her go live with her Dad in Texas... or re-cast the part....just an idea, Also why are they powdering her up so much? she looks like a odd colored ghost... She Really Really Really is messing up the show . I DVR the show just so I FF the parts she's in. Raven & Chelsea are X-cellent as ever...Disney you really need to listen up!!

Very surprised

[brep91 · 10/10 · 25 July 2017]

I loved That's So Raven growing up, but I didn't know if I should get my hopes up after being severely let down by Girl Meets World considering how much I looked forward to watching Boy Meets World every Friday. A part of me expected another disappointment, but I was very surprised. The acting of the children didn't seem overdone. Raven & Chelsea's characters kept the great comedic timing that they had with That's So Raven & aged well. There were moments that made me laugh. It seems like even with good shows, pilots may not be that great, but this one was well done.

Absolutely Fantastic

[wazoomee · 10/10 · 21 July 2017]

Having watched the first episode, I can tell you that the show just does everything right. All the mistakes made in the transition from Boy Meets World to Girl Meets World are non existent here. Everything, from the pacing, the humour (it genuinely made me laugh - I haven't laughed at a Disney Channel show since about 2013), the characters (they've actually managed to have young children acting without being obnoxious - a reason you should watch it alone) and the balance between comedy, situation and sweet moments are balanced so well it makes you want to keep watching. Even though it's a kids show, I can easily imagine adults enjoying this. Above all, the one thing I love the most is that the humour is just like it was in That's So Raven, and not like newer shoes (like Bizaardvark and Jessie) and it all works together. Raven and Chelsea are played excellently and this show is an easy 10/10. This is the final point in making Disney Channel return to its grace (the original one). It's a must watch!

Raven's Home is a breath of fresh & familiar air!

[patrickjames85 · 9/10 · 22 July 2017]

Raven's Home & it's making us 25yrs+ viewers feeling the joy of simpler times! The show is really great & has the same "Friends can be family & stick together" attitude that was captured in That's So Raven! There have been a few reboots recently like this.. Boy Meets World turned Girl Meets World, Full House got Fuller & a lot of grumpy viewers made it clear in the beginning of their runs that they we're total flops. Isn't that the way it goes though? Reboots are basically sequels & they are met with high expectations & a large amount of viewers come in with their minds already made up. I will say that I have enjoyed the other classic family shows gone millennial but both Boy Meets World & Fuller House did have trouble finding solid footing in their first episodes. Raven's Home glides in with ease & works instantly. The writing does not rely on nostalgia so much & dives right into the new story! The show works as both a child's show & a family show! It focuses well on both the new children characters & the adult characters. The show has solid footing and can really stretch it's legs by creating an environment where children & adults can learn valuable lessons on both child & adult levels which places the show in a really valuable class, the all ages family viewing, a fizzling breed of show that needs more of it's kind! Raven's Home is a welcomed breath of fresh & familiar air!!

Can't stop watching

[joe-doyle-53636 · 7/10 · 30 July 2018]

To be honest, I do love this show. Great characters. However, I really don't like Levi. It is really funny and smart and the theme tune is the best the Disney channel has ever had. The only thing is it is a bit repetitive. Everything else is really good though.

Pleasantly Surprised

[klmproductions · 9/10 · 22 July 2017]

I was a huge fan of the original That So Raven, and I was excited when I saw the preview for the show on YouTube. I watched the first full episode last night, and it was actually really good! It was much better than Girl Meets World in my opinion. I think that showing it later in the evening helps it to reach the older demographic that is more likely to enjoy the show. They also have the show available on their YouTube channel, which I think was a smart marketing strategy. The plot of the pilot was actually interesting, and I don't think I've laughed at a Disney Channel show that much in about ten years. The only bad thing about it is that I'll have to wait a week in between each episode!

mixed Feelings

[TheMask101 · 6/10 · 12 September 2019]

Season 1 was good Season 2 was trash. Season 3 is pretty good.

1st Season Hilarious, 2nd Season Ugh

[BrilliantNikkiTV · 5/10 · 21 November 2018]

Mixed feelings. (I whole heartedly agree with Reviewer, wickedalwayswins) Critique: 1st season Raven acted like a PARENT, 2nd children act like they runnin' Raven. Chelsea is supposed to be airhead, but she still acted like the Parent 1st season, too. Nia is VERY arrogant and too grown. Show works better with Chelsea & Devon in more episodes. Kid landlord, not funny. Principal, not funny. Positive: Raven is hilarious and they should allow her to be both parent & funny (like the "You gonna get it episode when Nia wore make up and my personal favorite). The boys are hilarious. Love their bond. Tess 1/2 1st season was annoying, however she became great. Loved Grandpa Vic but wish the dialogue was more realistic as a grandfather (ol' school parent). Like guest stars, but they haven't been as funny as just having more scenarios with Chelsea and Devon. I read that the showrunners changed, so maybe they should change them back. I watch every week. I like the show in general, but the "kids parenting the grown folks" is going to make me stop cause it is feeding into this entitlement attitude, bad role modeling, etc and That's so Raven, was So not that...

Great show hate losing it

[klasda · 10/10 · 25 April 2021]

I love watching this show it is so family oriented and funny. There is not to many shows I watch on Disney and it will be sad to lose this show. I hope for the best and luck for all the individuals on this show.

Season 1-3. 4

[paul_dales · 7/10 · 4 May 2022]

Enjoyed the first 3. Unfortunately Chelsea isn't back for the 4th. It makes sense they've replaced the other cast members for the same roles for a smaller price. I'd say this is the last season.

It's okay

[barnhami · 5/10 · 11 March 2020]

I'll admit I didn't have high expectations for this series because I'm not big on reboots and they're usually not that great anyway; plus I like That's So Raven a lot and figured this reboot wouldn't do it justice. It's okay, though. I enjoy Raven and Chelsea's still-strong chemistry and for the most part the kids carry their own storylines well. They also tackle some more serious topics than recent Disney shows so I appreciate that.

The problem is...it's Disney. In recent years, Disney has not tackled serious topics well. They try, but it comes off too preachy or the episodes are watered down to keep them "kid friendly." Disney used to handle more serious storylines in a tame enough way, but they long ago lost the ability to do it naturally. That's what happens with this show. The serious moments are too contrived or are not serious enough (an example being the episode where Levi's dad/Chelsea's ex comes back after being in prison for THREE YEARS. I understand needing to keep the content light, but it was way TOO light considering the circumstances in my opinion).

Another issue I have with this series is Raven and Chelsea as adults. I still enjoy their friendship, but individually I'm not keen on either character anymore. I feel as though Raven is not really a nice person in this series...? I'm not quite sure how to explain it. And Chelsea is just over-the-top dumb. This show doesn't escape the "kids are smarter than the parents" theme that his plagued Disney for so long, and I had hopes that it might. But no, the kids tend to act like parents and the parents like kids. A lot of scenes show Booker and Nia talking down to, lecturing, or lying to Raven and she's portrayed as ridiculous or oblivious. And Levi being smarter than Chelsea and treating her like a kid is a running theme and supposed to be played for comedic effect. Really? I'm 20 years old and I'm not even speaking from a parental standpoint here--I'm just tired of every TV show having overly-clueless parents.

Overall, I give this show 5 stars. I have enjoyed some episodes and there are a lot of cute moments and a few serious moments that are done well. Otherwise, I find this show to be too watered down by Disney and it's a little overly kid-ified for my taste.

Hilarious

[shaniese_robinson · 10/10 · 19 August 2017]

I enjoyed "that's so raven" back when it aired in 2003. My generation grew up watching it and its even more funny with this remake with Raven & Chelsea as adults dealing with life and wacky experiences and an even funnier cast; that us as adults now can relate to at this day and age.. I can definitely see this show getting picked up for a 2nd season.

Raven Baxter and Chelsea Daniels are back!!!

[anthonyhk95 · 10/10 · 25 July 2017]

This show makes Disney Channel fun to watch again because it has the old Disney feeling to it. Two days ago, I watched the first episode and most of the part got me smiling and laughing! The humour in this show so far is genuine, pure, flawless and it isn't stereotypical or cheesy. I really hope it will last up to 4 seasons like the original show did. What astonishes me is that the vision effect is now changed! I hope in the future, we see Raven's family make several appearances. Just like Good Luck Charlie, this show is well written and is family friendly!!

Great family show

[AdrienneGrayceMusic · 10/10 · 1 July 2018]

I've never watched That's so Raven, since it was after my time. I'm a 38 year old adult female. I have watched Raven's Home and love it. Some adults are reviewing this and rating it based on an adults' perspective but you have to realize this is a kid's show, so rate it as such. Raven Symone is hilarious. Sometimes her character is over the top but thats ok. The cast seems to mesh well together. It makes me laugh and thats all that matters. My nieces and nephews love it, and I liked it enough to write this review on a kids show, so it must be good! I hope it lasts.

Last names

[ilovelucy-22034 · 7/10 · 3 January 2021]

So, after Raven got divorced, I get going bk to her maiden name, but why booker and nia?

THANKS for Listening to Objective Fans! 3rd Season is AWESOME!

[MustSeeTViLove · 9/10 · 8 October 2019]

Raven's Home is back to 1st season Baxter greatness! It shows that Raven & the show runners took advice from this site and their fans by Raven acting like a parent disciplining but hilarious- check! Chelsea back & funny- check! Teenagers with good home training- check! Boys still funny- check! Nia? uh. Tess speaks again- check! (but she doesn't have her NY moxy?) Fathers shown more- check! Focus on main characters- check! Hilarious as Hell- Double Check!!! :) Kudos for being brave enough to change back! Much respect cause shows now take fans for granted and are getting sloppier. I love Raven's Home & watch weekly plus the reruns. Keep making us laugh! Btw Raven- you & Chelsea characters could continue your stories til 60 & be the next Golden Girls! :)

Had high hopes...

[ogina · 2/10 · 5 August 2019]

I was the Disney generation with That's So Raven, Cory in the House, Hannah Montana, suite life of Zack and Cody etc, so I was super excited to hear old Disney was coming back! Old Disney literally was created for everyone, and not just kids and don't get me started of when they used to to those amazing cross overs. However this does not compare to old Disney, still the basic bland shows they make today. Honestly I was expecting scenes between Raven and Chelsea and more of the old cast! Let's be honest majority of the audience will/are those who grew up watching Raven and Chelsea, and are tuning in to see them again. Logically they should have given an ample amount of screen time to them, sticking to the old that's so raven episode scenario (Raven Baxter see a glimpse of the future, misadventure tries to help her friends) and not focusing solely on the kids (which no one really cares about). I also feel like they took away the originality of the old characters, it kinda seems like watered down versions of the original to meet Disney new bland shows. If you want to see raven just watch the original.

Absolutely hilarious

[chloelong-59358 · 10/10 · 28 August 2017]

Anytime a spin-off series comes out, you are always hesitant. But this is just amazing! It captures the same vibe and humour of That's So Raven that is so lovable. I was literally in tears of laughter by episode 2. I'm so glad they came out with this and has definitely made it to my top favorite shows!

Annoying kids

[LK_Fan · 1/10 · 19 May 2022]

I wish they had made Raven and Chelsea the focus of the show instead of their kids. They're boring to watch and Booker having visions and dealing with school life etc is just a retread of the original show only not nearly as entertaining.

Disney's Coming Back

[disneyguyman · 10/10 · 30 July 2017]

Today, DC shows are a little... meh. This show, however, is making D.C. rise back to the top. This show is funny, and I like how they included Chelsea much more than other spin off shows. People are probably going to forget Cory in the House and remember Raven's Home for a while. I do hope DC continues this series.

Yes!!! Fantastic as the Original!!

[ashollychick · 10/10 · 28 July 2017]

Yes, I am so happy this show is so fantastic as the original! I was nervous that the new Disney Channel would make the sequel boring, since the rest of their shows except K.C. Undercover and Andi Mack suck, but Disney Channel has proved me wrong! Very proud about this show! The sequel still has the same funny humor as the original, even though the characters are all grown and they now have kids. Fantastic! Can't wait for more!

Mid Series Change of Format

[pizelli-75957 · 10/10 · 15 May 2021]

Seasons 1-3 were developed as a 'comedic' situation-comedy.

Beginning early in season 4, they have abandoned that format entirely. The show is now a drama focusing on racial issues mainly.

ravens home

[jovanadaniell · 10/10 · 12 August 2017]

Raven home is a fantastic show to watch on Disney channel because it has the crazy stuff of raising a kid and too it is very funny. i hope after season 1 this year they get a new season because you can't get enough of ravens home. absolutely fantastic my family enjoys watching it they just can't get enough of it. this show is really cool and a good show for little kids to be watching. really good spin-off to that so raven. i enjoy watching it myself.
