On this morning's "The View," Raven-Symone announced that she will be leaving that show by year's end to start a revival of her Disney Channel multi-cam sitcom "That's So Raven" nine years after it ended, with her character now as an adult mother--pilot not made yet and obviously not on any schedule, but one would assume that unless the pilot's a disaster, it's got a pretty clear path to DIS' schedule:
http://www.thewrap.com/thats-raven-spinoff-starring-raven-symone-works-disney-channel/ "Even Stevens" and "Lizzie McGuire" were the first hit sitcoms for DIS as it repositioned itself at the turn of the millennium as a basic channel. but they were one-camera no-laugh-track shows. "Raven" was the first in a long series of DIS (and Nickelodeon) multi-cam sitcoms supposedly shot with a live audience (although adult viewers swear up and down that it's all canned laughter, especially there never seems to be sounds of kids laughing) and usually containing smart-mouthed tween and teen protagonists that parents consider a bad influence and complain about on social media but the kids love. For a lot of people who worked on multi-cams during the peak of that format in the 90s (and, to be blunt, are too hacky to write one-camera shows), these series have been the salvation of their careers and obviously the two big kids channels will keep making them. As long as Cartoon Network doesn't (but if Adult Swim wants to have Tim and Eric do a parody of them, go ahead). -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
