TV show description:
Raven Baxter (Raven-Symoné) is a teenager with the ability to foresee the future. She sometimes tries to prevent what she sees and that’s what gets her into trouble because she often misinterprets her visions. Raven uses her ability as a master of disguise to try and fix the problems before they happen.
She’s a good friend to Eddie and Chelsea, yet she can also come off as too bossy and self-absorbed. Raven also gets along well with her parents but, like with most siblings, it’s a love/hate relationship with her brother Cory. She dreams of becoming a fashion designer someday and is known for saying, “Oh snap!”
Victor and Tanya Baxter (Rondell Sheridan and T’Keyah Crystal Keymáh) are Raven’s parents. Her father is a trained chef and owns his own restaurant, The Chill Grill. Her mother is very caring and is always there for her children. She stopped her own studies in order to raise her family and is returning to studying law now that they’re older. Her mother, Raven’s grandmother, is also psychic.
Cory (Kyle Massey) is Raven’s younger brother and the drummer in a band with two other boys. Obsessed with finances, he’s often coming up with new schemes that should make him rich but usually only end up making trouble.
Celsea Ophelia Daniels (Anneliese van der Pol) is one of Raven’s two best friends. She’s a secret artist, an evironmentalist, and a vegetarian. She doesn’t seem very bright and makes jokes that only she finds amusing.
Edward “Eddie” Thomas (Orlando Brown) is Raven’s other best friend. He’d like to become a rapper someday but, for now, is a guard on the school’s basketball team. He and Raven try a romantic relationship at one point. It ends quickly but, in two of Raven’s visions, he’s shown to be her future husband.

Love this show even Stevens and The Famous Jett Jackson my favorite shows Shia Labeof was best actor for Disney. Raven was funny back then childhood memories now hate her not same.
The series finale was terrible! As a SEASON finale I understand, but to end their stories just like that, it was so sad! Firstly, when I first watched the episode I didn’t even KNOW it was the series finale. This is bad because series finales are meant to recognisable. For example, the series finales of Hannah Montana, iCarly, Shake It Up, Good Luck Charlie and Wizards of Waverly Place were all episodes/specials that I could class as series finales without anybody telling me. . I definitely agree that this episode was not like the others, but it just didn’t feel… Read more »
