La casa de Raven

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!

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.

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...

I'm very pleased with this show. That's So Raven was Hysterical, and now Raven's Home is very good as well. The thing that I'm most pleased about this show is that compared to Girl Meets World, which was a travesty, it is not harsh in feministic vibes. Feminism and PC Culture is becoming a new norm in shows... and I for one am NOT a fan of it. I have nothing against feminism... but I don't need to have that ideology shoved in my face and throat while I'm trying to enjoy a show with beloved characters and a decent story. GMW was full of that, along with very stale writing... but I gave it a chance, in which I regret. Hopefully we get to see more familiar faces in future RH episodes... that would be great.

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!!
