It’s been almost three years since the final episode of That’s So Raven and it appears Disney Channel isn’t done with Raven Symone. This Sunday, she’ll be a guest star on Sonny With A Chance.

Definitely going to see it even though I don't like Sonny with a Chance. That's So Raven was one of the awesome shows back then.

AHHH! YES YES YES. I loved Raven in the first batch of episodes, but then everyone (including her) got very annoying. Hopefully with just Raven here, plus the hilarious cast of Sonny with a Chance, this will be a very good episode! :D

So much win. I really like Raven's sense of humor. That's So Raven was one of the better Disney Channel shows.

She needs to be in some more movies 8)

I agree. She was recently on a movie called Revenge of the Bridesmaids for ABC Family which premiered on July 18, 2010.

all star weekend? WHY Disney WHY?
:roll:
Disney Channel died when they stopped airing movies with Haley mills (Parent Trap and Pollyanna) and fun adventure movies like Swiss Family Robinson. R.I.P. the REAL Disney Channel. Date of Death: When the shows became teenie bopperish.

I occasionally leave this show on if I'm doing something else in my room and want some background noise on. I think Demi Lovato's kind of cute and I usually like having something on when I use my instruments or work on homework. Usually it's not my thing, but I had it on Monday night and I heard something I never thought I would hear on a Disney Channel show- a Bernie Madoff reference. It was the teacher chick I believe who said something about how she invested everything into a guy named Bernie and lost it all. The joke was still kind of forced, but it felt so out of place that I actually got a laugh out of it.

I think the show would be better if they got rid of everyone but Sonny and the soap opera guy. They seem to be the only ones who don't try to ham it up, although Demi couuld just sit around, doing nothing and the scene will pretty much still be hers anyway. The self-centered blonde chick, the little girl who talks like a junior noir femme fatale, and the lame-o duo get on my nerves more often than not. I think the show is a little better than the other live-action shows on the channel, but I still prefer Nick's stuff and whatever's aimed for my age as opposed to it.

I just watched the So Random! Halloween Special, and I must say I'm rather disappointed. It was just a random disjointing of various sketches interspersed with famous guest stars, one moment of a normal episode, and the loss of the awesome theme song. I thought it wasn't a "real" episode of Sonny with a Chance, one of my favorite shows on Disney Channel. Most of it wasn't that funny anyway. I enjoyed Sonny's song Work of Art, but everything else was just plain out of place. There was only like a minute of the actual show, and it consisted of the cast looking for Shaquille O' Neal and comforting him with a Mackenzie Falls reenactment (Chad's very brief appearance). I hope they fix things up when the So Random! Christmas Special rolls around, cause this Halloween special was just sad.

I mostly watched it for the Tangled preview tonight, but I didn't mind the episode as much as you did, although I wasn't impressed either. True, none of the segments really stood out, but Shaq was kind of funny in typical Shaq fashion, and I thought that the actors were more entertaining as diferent characters than their typical roles.

I thought that the best part of the episode was the jump to the regular SWAC setting with Chad's appearance, if only for how unexpected it was. Besides that, I also liked the Ghost Story/Toast Story bit, if only because it reminded me of a similar gag from the Kenan & Kel TV movie from way back when. The scenes with the Check Out Girls were also not bad. Again, I'm reminded of a show from my childhood with their act- I got memories of the Good Burger segments from All That, except with two pretty girls taking over Ed.

That said, the musical performances were probably my least favorite part of the episode. I purposely skipped the Allstar Weekend number so I could catch dinner(I've heard that song before, and didn't want to hear it again), but Demi's song wasn't anything special to me. I especially didn't like how obviously lipsynched it was, intentional or not. As for the Kanye-like baby sequence? No laughs from me.

I'm happy that I stuck around to see the awesome trailer for Tangled, but the episode was merely okay at best.

I liked all of Zora's parts (I consider her the best character on the show) which was pretty funny, and I forgot about the Check it Out parts (which were a little funny). But I felt Shaquille O' Neal's parts were just kind of awkward, his role as a host wasn't very memorable. I agree with you that the whole crying baby thing was weird, and that All-Star weekend was terrible (funny, I went to get dinner the same time you did!). The whole roadkill restaurant wasn't very funny either.
I did see the preview for Sonny with a 100% Chance of Meddling preview, which looks pretty interesting, if not for the constant reiteration of "sonnied up".

I would have had Selena Gomez host the show instead (better ratings with her as a host rather than a stupid basketball player) and remove All Star weekend (poor decision on the part of whoever got THEM on the show!!!)

I don't pay attention to most of Disney's music acts, the big ones that are pretty unavoidable notwithstanding, but if that one song by Allstar Weekend is any indication, they sound like the Jonas Brothers if they overused autotune on the levels of Ke$ha.

I've heard tons of music that I dislike, thanks to friends and my sister. I have heard entire Slipknot albums and have been exposed to a daily amount of All That Remains, Katy Perry, and stuff I don't even care enough to recall by name. I have even heard the Ke$ha album once or twice, albeit not by choice, but the first time I heard that one Allstar Weekend song, when my friend made me turn to a couple of minutes of Princess Protection Program while we waited for more people to head over ot my house, was when I truly discovered the power of awful music and what it can do to people at it's worst.

I would rather listen to just about anything I've mentioned above again than hear that song or anything else by that band one more time.

But besides that rambling, the reason I liked Shaq's appearance is because of how ungodly awkward the man is. Case in point, this classic scene from Kazaam.
