That's So Raven/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Flanderization: Chelsea's ditziness later becomes extreme idiocy.
  • Nightmare Fuel:
    • How about the babysitting episode with Miss Paterson?
    • Let's not forget the "Baby Cousin" in the Country Cousins episode. Played by Raven, of course. In a giant baby costume and high chair. Something about her expressions in that getup was... HORRIFYING.
    • Speaking of the country cousins episode, we have the scarecrow (Percy if I remember correctly) which we've told twice that there are stories of him coming to life and stealing your soul. Then Percy actually comes into the room through the hole in their floor, complete with moans and flashing lights. Of course, this is before we find out it was a prank but even then it's pretty creepy.
  • The Problem with Licensed Games: The video games are despised by the whole industry. And there was a sequel.
  • Retroactive Recognition
    • Vanessa Abrams was Raven's one-time rival for Bayside's Best Dressed award.
    • A younger version of Cody Linley, better-known as Hannah Montana's on-again, off-again love interest Jake Ryan, appeared as Daryl, the leader of a gang of pre-teen punks who encouraged Cory to join them in shoplifting from a junk store.
    • A young David Henrie, better-known as male lead Justin Russo from Wizards of Waverly Place, played the recurring role of Cory's best friend Larry.
    • Raven-Symone was Olivia on The Cosby Show.
  • The Scrappy --> Creator's Pet: Stanley.
  • They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: After "Saving Psychic Raven," the Psychic Institution is never seen again. The owner of the institution visits Raven during the framing device of the Clip Show, but does not bring any of his students.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Chelsea, the idiot of the group, is a vegetarian and animal rights activist.
