I think she comes off as incredibly fake in interviews. I don't know the girl. It's just a sense I get from watching her.

And as for her acting-- those goofy twins on 7th Heaven are more talented. She is not a good actress. No matter what I have seen her in, I feel like she's reciting lines. Which is what actors do. But with the good ones, you get swept up in the story line. With Raven, I feel like I'm watching a bad monologue during Thespian try-outs.

It doesn't help that "That's so Raven" is one of THE stupidest shows on the Disney channel.

Besides the regular plot: I see something... I've got to keep it from happening.. oops i made it happen after all

The acting is annoying all around.. from Raven to her little brother to her friend...

Sorry, got sidetracked, but Raven doesn't impress me either.

Is it just me, or does the girl who plays Chelsea (the friend) look about 27 instead of 16 like she's supposed to be??

I think a lot of the live-action kids shows are just filled with over-acting and repetitive goofy plots. They characters are more like ridiculous caricatures than believable, 3-dimensional characters. I've never sat down to watch any of the Disney channel shows, but just flipping through the channels and stopping on a Disney channel show and watching 15 seconds of it was already irritating enough. If I had to sit through a half-hour of that, I would have to shoot myself. But then again, if I was 9-years old, I probably would be watching stuff like that.

Hence the Disney Channel is a children's/pre-teen channel with some teenage story plots...they aren't marketing their programming towards young adults or adults who wouldn't understand!....

I've got to disagree on this one. My step-daughter is 10 and loves Raven. I have watched my fair share of various Disney shows and "That's so Raven" actually has me laughing sometimes - because it's so goofy. I think they know they are being over the top and they go with it.

Some of the others - The Suite Life, Phil of the Future, Hannah Montanta - those kids overact to no end and I don't think they realize it. Much worse, IMO!

ETA: The best kid actor on Disney shows was the kid who played Gordo on Lizzy Maguire!

That's because he was like 20 years old.

Yeah but the overacting is just DUMB and it's clearly written that way.

I agree about Suite Life, etc... Whatever happened to good old TV.. Family Matters, Full House, Cosby, smurfs, Get Smart on Nick at Night...

If you don't like it, why are you watching it?

I don't. I do however have younger siblings.

Besides, how else could I complain about it on a message board?

I went to HS with him! He was one of my friends. He left after freshman year to move to California to do the show. He's about 21-22 now.

Really? I liked Gordo! Did Lizzie and he ever hook up in the show. I know he pinned for her.

I LOVED Today's Special. And Pinwheel.

He kissed her at the end of the movie, but that's all. (Besides, anything more could have gotten him thrown in jail...he was around 19 and she was like 15 at the time).
