Zuhause bei Raven

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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!
