Base-Breaking Character: In both sides, many find Tess to be funny and entertaining, while detractors find her not only just annoying, but rather obnoxious as she causes trouble among in between her friends and towards everyone and to point out that she is the subject of Karma Houdini, as whenever she causes damage to the property in any given episodes, will often get away scot-free, especially when she's with the twins. Although others did point out that even if she did cause such a mess, she will likely to make up for the damages.
Catharsis Factor: It's really satisfying to see the kids stand up to Mitch in "Head Over Wheels", and have several other tenants show him what they think of his crap.
Continuity Lockout: Due to Cory in the House not being as well-known as its predecessor and this show, it's quite easy to forget that Victor was a chef at the White House.
There's a general consensus amongst fans that Chelsea's ex was physically and emotionally abusive, which is how Raven portrays him.
Fans debate on what happened to Eddie. Considering the show refuses to acknowledge Eddie's existence despite him being vital to the original series due to his actor Orlando Brown going through spouts of mental breakdowns and run-ins with the law, it leaves a lot to wonder on Eddie's status.
Despite them having one off love interests, Raven and Chelsea is still the most popular ship in the fandom. They are two single moms raising kids together. Naturally, fans took this to its natural conclusion and paired the two up.
And even though Tess and Ramon become an Official Couple by the end of Season 3, Booker/Tess is still more popular.
Harsher in Hindsight: It's a good thing meteorologist Devon moved to Dallas rather than Houston, because Hurricane Harvey got all over the news within weeks of his departure from Chicago airing.
Informed Wrongness: "Diss Track" is a widely disliked episode for this reason. A rival group writes a diss track about Chi-Lective, so Booker retaliates with his own. Even though the group takes the diss track in stride and started the whole thing, both the parents and the school demand that Booker be the one who apologizes.
Jerkass Woobie: Mitch of all people becomes this in "Winners and Losers" when he nearly gets sent to military school, gets framed for stealing a plant, and has to spend to rest of the day with ripped pants, humiliating himself. Mitch may be a brat, but when he's forced to humiliate himself — coupled with the fact that he's gotten in enough trouble with his dad that one more incident will mean the life he knows now will be over, it's hard not to feel bad for him.
Les Yay: Raven and Chelsea are divorced single mothers living and raising their children together in the same apartment—it was unavoidable:
In "Adventures in Mommy-Sitting", Raven and Chelsea are dancing with each other at a club. As they're getting kicked out, Chelsea shouts: "We're just good friends!"...
In one episode, Chelsea and Raven dance a tango together.
Raven and Chelsea sleep in the same room. However, they sleep in bunk-beds instead of the other option.
The synopsis for "Bah Humbugged" combines the names of Raven and Chelsea's families as "the Baxter-Carter-Grayson clan".
"Sorry to Father You" revolves around Chelsea and Raven going away on a "friend-iversary" together.
In "Shoe-encer", Raven refers to her and Chelsea's friendship as "wabi-sabi" ("beauty in the flaws"). The two hug afterwards.
Like You Would Really Do It: Cleverly played with in "The Baxters Get Bounced". There was no way they would get evicted as it would ruin the plot. Booker's vision has him learn the apartment will be saved after all about halfway through the episode.
Rescued from the Scrappy Heap: Tess seems to be improving as a character, since in her more recent appearances, she actually contributes to something. In "Wheel of Misfortune", after Nia slams the door in frustration, which is Out of Character for her, Tess drops everything she's doing just to check up on her best friend. She also gets come Character Depth; for instance in "Smoky Flow", we learn that Tess stays home alone because her family is struggling financially. It helps that some Replacement Scrappy characters such as Curtis and the Guntz, Sierra, and Ramon make her seem not so annoying, and that Sky Katz’s acting has improved as the show went on. "Bless This Tess" further improves on her popularity with the fans.
Booker's two friends Curtis and the Guntz and Nia's friend Sienna are frequently seen as annoying, with much fewer good characteristics when compared to the main characters. Curtis and the Guntz are frequently seen as bullies, while Sienna is simply seen as having an annoying voice. Their ever-increasing time spent with the twins didn't help, making fans view them as Replacement Scrappies for Levi and Tess. This is so bad that the Guntz was Put on a Bus after Season 2 and has not been seen or heard from since, while Curtis made only two appearances in Season 3 while Sienna made only one plus two mentions.
Signature Song: “Legendary” from “Raven’s Home: Remix”. It was even made into a music video featuring various female Disney Channel stars.
They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: News of the series removing 2/3 of the main cast and changing the plotline was met with this reception. Raven and Chelsea fans were particularly saddened, since their friendship and antics was one of the main reasons they watched the show. Shippers were saddened as well, several episodes teased Booker and Tess developing more than platonic feelings for each other.
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Eddie Thomas and Cory Baxter have yet to make proper appearances on the show, despite both of them being key figures in the original series. They don't even get a guest appearance (though this was due to real life reasons as both had run-in with the law during the show's production. Naturally Disney won't allow actors on their shows when that happens). Cory and Eddie at least get mentioned in Season 5.
Also why couldn’t Chelsea and Levi go with their family to visit Victor and be there for each other. After they decide to stay Levi could get into the same genius school Alice is in, or go to high school with Booker like the old days and Chelsea would be able to help Raven and father figure Victor.
They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Booker's graduation would've been a great reunion for the main cast, especially since Booker mentions he attended Nia's graduation. None of them are even mentioned outside that instance.
Win Back the Crowd: This, along with Andi Mack has been showing that Disney Channel is getting its luster back for its live action fare.
