That's So Raven/Alyson Stoner Spin-Off ???

Post by Rowlf_The_Dog »

Ok ... I know there have been threads about a That's So Raven, Too and a Corey/Victor/White House spin-off ...

But ... was the episode ... "Goin' Hollywood" ... that guest-starred Alyson Stoner and Jackee supposed to be a pilot for a Disney show that will never be?

If you think about it ... Raven and the gang are only in about 25% of the episode ... Yes the premise is that Corey gets a walk-on/one-line role on his favorite Happy Days-ish tv show ... But the episode follows Alyson's character going to public school with her cousin ... and a Alana/Bianca-ish foe following her every move ...

It's basically about a child-star's life in front of the camera and off-camera ...

Hmmm ... Kinda like Hanna Montana?

So maybe Alyson's was ditched ... for Hanna ...

Usually shows like that are referred to as Backdoor Pilots, because if it's popular/successful enough, it actually becomes a show. I'm guessing since we've got Miley Cyrus in a show and not Alyson Stoner, that the show wasn't picked up.

Welll wikipedia says that yes the episode was a pilot for a alyson stoner series. Also you said it was similair to Hannah Montanna, funny enough alyson stoner auditioned of rthe part of miley/hannah.

Very interesting ... I guess all the pieces are finally falling into place LOL

I bet Hannah Montana would have been much more enjoyable to watch with Alyson ...
