Which of today’s TVLine Items piques your interest?
Raven’s Home needs a new show runner, they aren’t tackling the serious issues that That’s So Raven did, Chelsea has been missing in over half the episodes, they aren’t playing the nostalgia factor enough which is the only reason this show exists, and they totally wasted her dad coming back. Season 1 had way more callbacks to That’s So Raven, they need her mom and Cory back, and I wanna know if Cory in the House is canon.
I agree. Season 2 has been terrible. The show has gotten way too silly. Too much focus on the Nia and Baxter and their obnoxious friends at the kids school. What happened to Chelsea? I feel like Tess has less screen time this season. Victors guest appearance was a waste. Your right about the serious issues. That’s so Raven delt with smoking, racism, body image in the media, foster care. Ravens Homes plots have been childish fluff for the most part. Hopefully the new showrunner for Season 3 improves the show.
Tess has had less screen time you’re correct. I just want it to respect the original series like Girl meets world or Fuller house, they brought back countless original cast members, continued storylines, That’s So Raven left so many story threads handing and so did the spin off Cory in the House. It deserves better than Raven’s Home hasn’t given us.
Season 2 said where Chelsea was in just call me Vic. Chelsea has a job now
Chelsea has finally got a job – teaching young entrepreneurs for two months at a cruise ship in the Caribbean.
The show had to make it look like Chelsea was gone for 2 months
Then in the dr Sleevemore arch Chelsea was with college friends in Las Vegas.
Plus I think Anneliese during that time was probably doing another project I think she was doing 5 weddings at the time.
Chelsea clearly comes back in Season 3. But the show explained where Chelsea was for Season 2.
Wow! Childish fluff from a children’s show… can you imagine? If you want to tackle the big issues, film your own after-school specials. My kids get enough politically correct indoctrination from public schools and self-appointed critics (if I’m dumb enough to let them).
excited for the renewal, but knowing Disney Raven’s Home might have one more season..
Yeah but if that one more season does well enough it could get a Season 4 since Season 4 wouldn’t be until 2020.
