Line 26:
* [[Cue the Rain]]: Turned up an extra notch. Raven got stuck in a limo's moon roof when going to prom. Then it started raining on her. "Well at least [[It Can't Get Any Worse]]"...cue the gale force winds.
* [[Cymbal-Banging Monkey]]: Cory steals one. It haunts his dreams.
* [[A Day in Thethe Limelight]]: There is an episode where Cory goes to Hollywood and meets a child actress who wants a normal life. The episode mostly focuses on her. It was a [[Backdoor Pilot]] for a show that never got picked up. However because the actress is played by Alyson Stoner the fans didn't seem to mind.
* [[Deus Angst Machina]]: All of Raven's visions have to be misleading and end up getting her in trouble. Some of them don't even come true at all.
* [[The Ditz]]: Chelsea and Sierra.
Line 32:
* [[Dojikko]]: Chelsea.
* [[Extranormal Institute]]: The Psychic Institute in "Saving Psychic Raven".
* [[Fable Remake]]: ''[[The Wizard of Oz (Filmfilm)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' in "Soup to Nuts".
* [[Fantastic Racism]]: The teens at the Psychic Institute [[What Measure Is a Non Super|look down on]] [[Muggles|"normies"]].
** Raven is afraid of becoming a victim of [[Fantastic Racism]] herself if her secret ever gets out.
Line 54:
* [[Party Scheduling Gambit]]
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: [[Once an Episode]].
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Tanya, the mother who was one of the important supporting characters, suddenly without warning apparently went to England to become a lawyer. She's never seen or heard from again. This was due to the actor who played her not seeing eye to eye with the director and writing staff and left after the third season.
* [[The Rashomon]]: The episode "The Lying Game", where Raven and Cory tell their versions on what happened when Raven went to Cory's class for Job Shadow Day.
* [[Real Life Writes the Plot]]: Alana, who was played by 3LW and [[The Cheetah Girls (Film)|The Cheetah Girls]]' Adrienne Bailon, took a [[Long Bus Trip]] when she was "so bad she went to military school." In real life, Bailon and Raven-Symone had internal disputes while they were in The Cheetah Girls, which caused Bailon to refuse to reprise her role and Raven to leave The Cheetah Girls.
* [[Recycled Set]]: The hallway/locker area set on [[Saved Byby the Bell]] never got destroyed, and has been reused in many high-school based shows. It is currently being used as the school set for ''[[I CarlyICarly]]'' after ''That's So Raven'' used it before.
* [[Secret Keeper|Secret Keepers]]: Raven's family plus Eddie and Chelsea.
* [[Self-Fulfilling Prophecy]]: Most of them. Usually when Raven tries to prevent a certain vision from coming true, she makes it happen instead.
Line 73:
* [[Token White]]: Chelsea.
* [[Totem Pole Trench]]: Stanley and Eddie sneak into a party Raven is throwing by doing this.
* [[Trope Codifier]]: Everything the [[Disney Channel]] doesn't owe to ''[[Lizzie McguireMcGuire]]'', it owes to ''That's So Raven''. The [[Laugh Track]], the [[No Indoor Voice|constant yelling]], the reliance on [[Strictly Formula|hackneyed plots]], all come from here. It was also the first show to break the infamous "[[Sixty Five Episode Cartoon|65 Episode]] Policy", running to a full 100, paving the way for future shows to also break 65 (including the [[Un Cancelled]] ''[[Kim Possible]]'').
* [[Two Girls and Aa Guy]]: With only a Eddie/Raven [[Ship Tease]] and no drama.
* [[Two-Teacher School]]: Senorita Rodriguez and Mr. Lawler.
** There were other teachers as well as another principal at the school but they were put on [[Long Bus Trip|Long Bus Trips]].
Line 88:
** And one about [[Fur and Loathing|wearing real fur]].
** The second to last episode was one about smoking.
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: Usually, the [[Two Lines, No Waiting|A and B plots]] were kept mostly separate. However, in one memorable instance, the B plot had Cory addicted to online video games, [[Heavy Handed|heading very obviously]] toward a [[Stock Aesops|formulaic]] "everything-in-moderation" Aesop. Halfway through the episode, [[It Makes Sense in Context|a goat from Raven's story]] chews through the wire of Cory's joystick, and we [[Left Hanging|never hear anything]] about Cory's subplot ever again.
* [[Whole-Plot Reference]]: See [[Fable Remake]] above.
* [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?]]: In "He's Got the Power".
