That's So Raven is an American supernatural sitcom that debuted on Disney Channel on January 17, 2003, and ended its run on November 10, 2007. The series was nominated in 2005 and 2007 for Emmy Awards for Outstanding Children's Programming.
The show was set in San Francisco and revolved around teenager Raven Baxter, played by Raven-Symoné, her friends Eddie (Orlando Brown) and Chelsea (Anneliese van der Pol), her family members; mother Tanya Baxter (T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh), father Victor Baxter (Rondell Sheridan) and brother Cory (Kyle Massey). The title character drew on her psychic powers, ingenuity, and talent as a fashion designer as well as a variety of disguises to get into and out of amusing adolescent and pre-adolescent situations.
Reruns of episodes aired on the ABC Kids Saturday morning segment of Disney-owned ABC broadcast network in the United States until August 27, 2011, when the block was discontinued. No announcement was made as to whether the show would get complete season releases on DVD. That's So Raven garnered higher ratings than any other Disney Channel show at the time. It went on to be the first show in Disney Channel history to make the 100 episode mark.^[1]
The show was so popular that it received a spin-off focusing on Cory. The show was called Cory In The House. The series lasted for two seasons and had 34 episodes. In October 2016, Raven-Symoné announced that there would be a spin-off about Raven raising her two children, one with psychic visions.^[2][3] The show, titled Raven's Home, premiered on July 21, 2017
