That's So Raven: Season 01
Running Time: 30 min.
Release By: Disney Channel

15-year-old Raven Baxter (Raven-Symone) manages to get herself, her family, and her friends into all sorts of hilarious scrapes thanks to her remarkable -- and remarkably faulty -- gift for prophecy in season one of the Disney Channel sitcom That's So Raven. In fact, the series has barely gotten started before Raven is on the outs with her friend Eddie (Orlando Brown) because she refuses to peer into the future to help him pass his high school Spanish exam. Later on, Raven experiences a vision that her ten-year-old brother Cory (Kyle Orlando Massey) despises her, senses disaster when her dad Victor (Rondell Sheridan) gets the opportunity to appear on a TV cooking show (and also predicts that Victor will lose his chef's job), nearly wrecks her various friendships in her efforts to touch base with other psychics, and jumps to the conclusion that her dad and mom (T'Keyah Crystal Keymáh) are headed for divorce. The problem, you see, is that Raven's glimpses into the future are only fragmentary -- leading her to misinterpret what's in store for her and react upon it in a fashion that would do I Love Lucy proud! The season ends with Raven discovering that the source of her -- er -- gift might well be her Grandma Viv (Jenifer Lewis), who may or may not be a witch. (Though clearly intended as the season finale -- and identified as such in the series' rerun package -- this episode did not originally air on Disney Channel until halfway through season two!)
