Raven

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! :)

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'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.

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.

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!
