That's So Raven

A teenager Raven Baxter is a girl who can see the future. She and her friends Eddie Thomas and Chelsea Daniels always have wacky mishaps trying to follow the visions. Her family life is also wacky with her parents Tonya and Victor and her younger brother named Cory. Raven's got a lot on her hands! Taken from imdb.com

I have found myself watching this show on Saturday mornings before I go to work. I can see why this show would appeal to the tween audience and I would probably like the show if I was that age. The particular episode that I was watching on Saturday had Raven's brother trying to learn how to skateboard so he could join the local extreme skateboarding team. He has very little skill and keeps on falling. Raven takes a lot of pleasure in seeing her brother fail and be humiliated. The only reason she turns around and tries to help her brother is so she can get money from her father to go to a concert on the weekend.
Personally, I think the characters could use an overhaul from what they are like now. Raven Baxter can be seen as selfish at times and a bit annoying in my opinion. I can see how her behavior applies to the show and some of the episodes seem to run off that irritation. Her friend Chelsea seems to only have moments of clarity but most of the time is portrayed as a simpleton of sorts. It is mainly when Raven has gotten into a sticky situation and needs the help to get out of it.
Generally, I don't think the show is a really bad show but I believe that some of the characters are flawed. I may be overly critical about the show since I haven't watched a show like this in years. The shows that I used to watch included Sabrina, The Teenage Witch and Boy Meets World. Some of the characters in those shows would act silly at times but they still had a lot I could relate to. I think I would rate That's So Raven as a 6 out of 10 on a scale of how much I would recommend it.
