History YMMV / ThatsSoRaven

* UnintentionallySympathetic: Raven in the episode "Mother Dearest." While it wasn't right for Raven to be badmouthing her teacher, said teacher was a SadistTeacher who would make snippy comments to the students.

** Victor and Tanya's marriage can be looked at this way; as Tanya went on a LongBusTrip to England, it was assumed that her and Victor were still HappilyMarried while she was away at law school. ''Series/RavensHome'' reveals that despite them being married, they barely ''spoke'' to one another during that time and their relationship devolved to the point where Victor didn't even tell her ''he had a heart attack''. Thankfully, their rift is resolved at the end of the episode where Tanya comes back for Victor's birthday.

* {{Anvilicious}}: “Food For Thought” possibly holds the record for the most blatant example ever of AWeightyAesop.

* JerkassWoobie: Sydney, who starts out as a rude, snarky brat, but is soon revealed to have lost her biological parents (it’s unclear if they’re dead or just abandoned her), and has been placed in several foster homes at a painfully young age.

* Chelsea in “A Goat’s Tale” is this big time. She essentially steals a goat from the school that owns it (Eddie had been the one to steal it in the first place, but it was meant as a joke and he’d fully intended to give it back after the football game), refusing to give it back just because it has to wear a mascot outfit. She then sends it off to a farm she doesn’t know anything about and Eddie is forced to take the blame for the entire incident and be the new mascot. Ouch.

** ''That's So Raven'' has Devon and Raven as the OfficialCouple. The two even ended up married post-series, though they're divorced by the sequel. Despite this, fans tend to prefer shipping Raven with Eddie.

* JerkassWoobie: Sydney, who starts out as a rude, snarky brat, but is soon revealed to have lost her biological parents, and has been placed in several foster homes at a painfully young age.

* Raven and Alana's rivalry could come off this way, if you remember their history with the Film/TheCheetahGirls, and group in-fighting caused Raven Symone to acrimoniously leave the group.

** Victor in "Mad Hot Cotillion". In a subplot, he grounds Raven for a week after she accidentally misses her great aunt's 80th birthday, despite the fact that she received a vision of her friends needing her help in a Mexican restaurant. As a result of the grounding, Raven [[GoMadFromTheIsolation Goes Mad From Isolation]], which would imply that she HatesBeingAlone. As the episode progresses, Raven finds out that Victor has been hanging out with Chelsea and Eddie, which makes him a {{Hypocrite}} because he forbade her from seeing them since she's grounded, yet he has the audacity to hang out with them. After helping out Cory with his problem in the main plot, Victor extends her grounding time after she goes out to help her ''brother'' of all people. Victor changes his mind when realizes he WasTooHardOnHer only after Raven solemnly goes up to her room. The ending implies that Raven might've given her father the SilentTreatment after everything he's done.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: Eddie and Chelsea in "To See or Not to See". They know Raven can't control when her visions occur, or what she sees, but they're still mad at her when they humiliate themselves because of her visions. Even when she stops telling them her visions, they still blamed her for all bad things that happened unexpectedly. As a result, Raven was left in a tight spot between what she should do. It takes Viv's inspirational/psychic chat with Raven to make her feel better.

** The MusicalEpisode "Road to Audition" has Eddie and an ensemble of basketball players dancing in the school gym, incorporating basketballs into their choreography. ''Film/HighSchoolMusical'' would feature a scene just like this two years later.

** ''The Dating Shame'' has an fame-seeking game show host [[ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem who tried to tear the girls apart just to make the show more interesting]], this will later become a key feature of [[WesternAnimation/TotalDrama another reality TV host]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:

* HarsherInHindsight: The episode where Raven is passed up for a job because the boss refuses to hire black people ("True Colors") becomes depressing when you hear Raven-Symone bluntly say years later on an episode of ''Series/TheView'' that she wouldn't hire a person with a "stereotypical black name". ''Ouch''.

* WhatAnIdiot: You'd think Raven would learn her lesson about jumping to conclusions with her visions after the first few times. But no, she always thinks her visions will naturally occur, half the time she caused them to come true.
** The gym teacher in "Getting out of Dodge". First he believes Bianca and her gang when they say someone was bullying others in the hallway. Then the next day, instead of learning from his previous mistake, he falls for the trick ''again'' when they told him there were free donuts in the teacher's lounge. Remind us again how this man became a teacher?

* ValuesResonance: This show talked about the wrongness pf racism, body-shaming,and disrespecting someone's culture. It also delved into discussing divorce and respecting people who are different than you as just people.

* HollywoodPudgy: The show deconstructs this in an episode where Raven wants to model her own dress for a fashion magazine. The magazine cover photoshops her to look thinner, so she tries to model her own gown at the show anyway.
--> '''Raven:''' Nobody looks [[HollywoodThin like that]].
--> '''Model:''' ''I'' don't even look like that.
