The series centers on Raven Baxter ([[Raven-SymonĂ©]]<!---Raven-SymonĂ© is referred to by her mononym for consistency throughout this article, even though she was credited in the series solely as Raven. Please not that SymonĂ© is not her surname.-->), a teenager with hidden psychic abilities. Episodes show Raven experiencing [[vision (spirituality)|visions]] of future events; she must also deal with the social and personal issues of her youth. Raven often misinterprets the events she foresees, and intervenes to prevent a vision from coming true or to protect her friends and family. She uses her skills in fashion design to create elaborate disguises she wears during these schemes. Raven's secret is shared with her best friends Eddie Thomas ([[Orlando Brown (actor)|Orlando Brown]]) and Chelsea Daniels ([[Anneliese van der Pol]]), along with her brother Cory ([[Kyle Massey]]) and parents Tanya ([[T'Keyah Crystal KeymĂĄh]]) and Victor ([[Rondell Sheridan]]). The series explores supernatural elements, family, friendship, and adolescence. [[The Walt Disney Company]] created the series as its television network's first [[Multiple-camera setup|multi-camera]] sitcom after the success of its earlier [[Single-camera setup|single-camera]] comedy series such as ''[[Even Stevens]]'' and ''[[Lizzie McGuire]]'', the former of which executive producers [[David Brookwell]] and [[Sean McNamara (filmmaker)|Sean McNamara]] concurrently worked on. Their joint company [[Brookwell McNamara Entertainment]] produced ''That's So Raven'', which premiered on January 17, 2003. The series concluded on November 10, 2007, after becoming the first program on the network to reach [[100 episodes]], and ended because the actors were aging beyond the show's target teenage demographic. All four seasons of the show have been distributed through digital download and on the [[Streaming service provider|streaming service]] [[Disney+]]. ''That's So Raven'' enjoyed high viewership on broadcast television in the United States, and gave rise to the development of merchandise, [[soundtrack album]]s, and [[video game]] adaptations. Television critics praised Raven-SymonĂ© for her physical comedy in what is considered her breakthrough role. The series received two [[Primetime Emmy Award]] nominations for [[Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's Program|Outstanding Children's Program]] in 2005 and 2007. A spin-off entitled ''[[Cory in the House]]'', which stars Massey and Sheridan, aired on Disney Channel for two seasons from 2007 to 2008. Raven-SymonĂ©, van der Pol, Sheridan and KeymĂĄh reprised their roles for the spin-off ''[[Raven's Home]]'', which aired for six seasons from 2017 to 2023. ==Premise== [[File:Raven-SymonĂ©Dec10.jpg|left|thumb|170px|alt=A mid shot of a woman with mid-length brown hair, wearing a black, translucent dress.

Often, she finds herself misinterpreting the events she sees, resulting in trouble for herself, her friends and family.<ref name="seriesorder"/> Raven keeps her supernatural ability a secret; only her close friends and family are aware of it. Raven attends school alongside her best friends Chelsea, who is described as "ditzy", and is an environmentalist and an artist; and Eddie, who is an aspiring [[rapper]], is athletic and plays on the school basketball team. Raven lives with her younger brother Cory, an aspiring businessperson, and her parents Victor and Tanya. Victor initially works in a restaurant as a chef, and in the second season he opens his own restaurant called "The Chill Grill". Tanya halted her studies to raise her family but decided to continue studying law once her children were older; after the third season, she leaves the family to study in England. Raven is an aspiring fashion designer who frequently creates costumes to disguise her identity; she often implements schemes to rectify a situation or her own mistakes.<ref name="avclub100"/> In the fourth season, the show's format is slightly revised; Raven works as an intern for the famous fashion designer Donna Cabonna.<ref name="donnacabonna"/><ref name="dvdmakeover">{{cite news|last=Wallace|first=Aaron|url=https://www.dvdizzy.com/thatssoraven-makeover.html|title=''That's So Raven'': Makeover Madness DVD Review|work=DVDizzy.com|date=July 30, 2006|access-date=January 17, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220104084914/https://www.dvdizzy.com/thatssoraven-makeover.html|archive-date=January 4, 2022|url-status=live}}</ref> The series explores the [[Fantasy (psychology)|fantasy]] of wanting a supernatural power children may experience.<ref name="scripttoscreen"/> It shares similarities with series such as ''[[Sabrina the Teenage Witch (1996 TV series)|Sabrina the Teenage Witch]]'' and other [[fantasy television]] programs in which adolescents experience and learn to deal with miraculous abilities.<ref name="avclub100"/> Disney Channel president [[Rich Ross]] stated Raven's powers are not "dark" but rather a metaphorical representation of the unpredictability of future events.<ref name="keeneye"/> The series does not explore the origin or discovery of Raven's powers; however, her grandmother Vivian also has psychic powers.<ref name="vivian">{{Cite episode|title=[[That's So Raven (season 1)#ep21|To See or Not to See]]|series=That's So Raven|network=[[Disney Channel]]|date=March 5, 2004|season=1|number=21|credits=Writer: Carla Banks Waddles}}</ref> Raven often intervenes in situations to prevent a vision from coming true but she does not regularly try to control her ability or take advantage of it.
