Line 14:
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Alana; Bianca; alternately, Nikki. Also, Jasmine in the [[Musical Episode]], and in Season 4, both Tiffany and Muffy were this.
* [[Annoying Younger Sibling]]: Cory.
* [[Aside Glance]]: Raven does this after she and Chelsea dismiss the idea of a TV show about psychic teenager. See [[Who Would Want to Watch Us?]] below.
* [[Backdoor Pilot]]: There's an episode where Corey goes to Hollywood but it mainly focuses on actress Ally Parker. It was supposed to set up a show called Better Dayz, that was later scrapped and [[Retool]]-ed into [[Hannah Montana]]
* [[Black Best Friend]]: [[Inverted]]. Cory and Raven both have [[Token White]] best friends.
Line 37:
* [[Fat Best Friend]]: Eddie.
* [[Five Finger Discount]]: Episode about Cory of the same name. See [[Very Special Episode]].
* [[Fully -Absorbed Finale]]: ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'' episode "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana" takes place sometime after "Checkin' Out", the canon last episode of ''[[That's So Raven]]''<ref> Due to [[Disney Channel]] airing the episodes [[Out of Order]], "Checkin' Out" was aired in the middle of the last season.</ref>, in which Raven plays a large part. She has a vision of Cody getting into trouble at Carey's party, which is the driving force behind the main plot, and is pivotal to the subplot, where, with Maddie's help, she ends up selling her dresses to London Tipton and Hannah Montana.
* [[Fundraiser Carnival]]
* [[Girl Posse]]: Nicki's hairspray girls, Alana's (and then Bianca's) posse.
Line 51:
* [[Musical Episode]]: "The Road To Audition".
* [[Out of Order]]
* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]: She would constantly disguise herself, including sometimes as old men, despite, looking nothing like a man, and sounding exactly like a teenage girl, speaking in a false deep voice.
* [[Party Scheduling Gambit]]
* [[Prophecy Twist]]: [[Once an Episode]].
Line 59:
* [[Recycled Set]]: The hallway/locker area set on [[Saved By 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 Carly]]'' 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.
* [[Slapstick Knows No Gender]]: The main character, Raven, gets involved in a lot of slapstick, usually on the receiving end.
* [[Spider Sense]]
* [[Spin -Off]]: ''[[Cory in The House]]''.
** There was also supposed to be a spinoff called Better Dayz starring Alyson Stoner. The show would later be developed into ''[[Hannah Montana]]''.
* [[Standardized Sitcom Housing]]: The interior sets of the Baxter pad are remarkable similar to that of the Winslows of ''[[Family Matters]]'' and the Tanners of ''[[Full House]]''.
* [[Stand-In Parents]]: Raven posed as her own mother at a parent-teacher conference to prevent her mother from finding out how bad her grades were. When the mother (ineviatably) found out, she was both angry that Raven had lied to her and offended because of the insulting fat suit Raven had used for the disguise.
* [[Suck E. CheesesCheese's]]
* [[Talking to Herself]]: In the episode "[[Deep South|Coountry Cousins]]", Raven plays several characters, Nutty Professor style. However, [[Man of a Thousand Voices]] she is not.
* [[Test Kiss]]: Raven and Eddie share one in the last episode. The results were ambiguous...
Line 75:
* [[Trope Codifier]]: Everything the [[Disney Channel]] doesn't owe to ''[[Lizzie Mcguire]]'', 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 A 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]].
* [[Unexpected Positive]]: Raven and Corey go to the dentist. Corey's scared, so (after having a vision in which one of the pair is shown to need a filling) Raven gets in the chair to show him that it's not so bad. Guess who needs the filling?
Line 88:
** And one about [[Fur and Loathing|wearing real fur]].
** The second to last episode was one about smoking.
* [[What Happened to The 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".
