View Full Version : Episodes on 4 TSR Discs? Corolla 08-09-2007, 02:10 PM Does anyone actually know what episodes are contained on the four releases of That's So Raven on DVD? The price is extremely steep for the content, but I love the show so much I might actually consider buying it. Superstar 08-09-2007, 06:45 PM Disguise The Limit DVD: "Art Breaker" (22:33) (Originally aired February 25, 2005) The school art teacher, Ms. Petuto (pop star Cyndi Lauper) takes an interest in Chelsea's work and asks her to create a new piece for an upcoming contest. Chelsea is thrilled by this chance for expression and turns to Raven for inspiration. The result is a bust of Raven as a raven, a tribute that is less than well-received. When Raven accidentally breaks the statue, she decides to dress herself in clay and feathers to take the statue's place in the competition. A few school grades down, Corey and his friend, William, profit from the school's decision to ban soft drinks by selling them in milk cartons instead. "Country Cousins" (Parts 1 & 2) (Part 1 22:28, Part 2 21:52) (Originally aired July 29, 2005) In a two-part event episode for the series, Raven and Chelsea leave San Francisco to call on Raven's cousins in the country. This side of the Baxters bears the family resemblance (as they should- Raven plays three of them), but their ways of life couldn't be more different. Cultures aren't the only things that clash, though. There's a reason that the two sides of the family haven't seen each other since Raven was a child, and Raven is determined to figure out why and reunite her family. Her efforts are complicated by the family's attitude of resentment, Raven's unfamiliarity with (highly stereotypical) country living, and the horror story subplot that keeps Chelsea preoccupied by a legendary scarecrow that steals souls. Back home, Eddie stays with the Baxters for a few days and comes to take comfort in the fact that Corey sees him as an older brother... until Corey takes advantage of their bond and uses Eddie to sneak out of the house. "The Grill Next Door" (22:35) (Originally aired July 8, 2005) A rip-off restaurant opens next door to Victor's Chill Grill, courtesy of Leonard Stevenson (James McCauley), with whom Victor has competed before. When Raven foresees her dad having to close the doors on his dream, she and Corey put their heads together and decide to book Corey's band at the Chill Grill in order to bring in business. To really attract the crowds, though, both the band and Raven will have to make some hefty concessions to Stanley (Bobb'e J. Thompson), the annoying kid who has captured the town's affection but holds his own feelings for Raven. Raven's House Party DVD: "The Four Aces" (22:34) (Not Yet Aired) What happens when Della Reese guest stars on "That's So Raven" and sings jazz? The show produces one of its finest episodes. She plays a sassy and bitter star of the jazz world who hasn't performed since her father's death. Raven volunteers at the retirement center she now lives at and manages to coax some happiness and tells of her past from her, including one that reveals something about the Chill Grill (the Baxter family restaurant) that Raven never knew. Meanwhile, Corey haggles with Stanley over a gift for his girlfriend and Chelsea tries to outwrestle an elderly lady and fails. "Too Much Pressure" (22:24) (Originally aired June 10, 2005) Raven and Chelsea try to get a spot as a background dancer in the new music video by their favorite R&B star, Pressure (Kevontay Jackson). In order to get close, though, they have to get Corey to sign up for a bizarre dance class in the same studio. "Double Vision" (22:16) (Originally aired December 17, 2004) This episode actually shakes things up just a bit when Raven learns that Ben (Travis Van Winkle), the boy on whom Chelsea has a crush at their high school, is actually a psychic too. Chelsea, who is busy planning a concert by hippy singer Rayne Bow (Caitlin Crosby) doesn't like what she sees when the two of them try to combine their powers, though. Back at home, Corey frets over the nearing of his first kiss. The addition of another psychic character in this episode is an interesting one and would go a long way in spicing up the series. One hopes that Travis Van Winkle will be asked to return. "Opportunity Shocks" (22:24) (November 5, 2004) No one plays a tycoon like "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"'s James Avery. Here, he's patent maverick Presto, who is renowned for his knack at turning inventions into financial successes. He's coming to the Chill Grill and the whole Baxter family. Somehow it ends up in a wacky dance-off that's something of a tangent, but a funny one. Raven's Makeover Madness DVD: "Pin Pals" (22:37) (Originally aired February 24, 2006) In the season premiere and easily the disc's weakest episode, Raven tries to sneak her clothing designs into Donna Cabonna's fashion show and faces the wrath of her friends (whose bowling team she deserts) for doing so. "Dues and Don'ts" (22:37) (Originally aired March 3, 2006) Raven lets the allure of her new internship get the best of her when she brags about her vision of a luxurious office to the entire Spanish class. They plan a trip to check out her new digs, but little does Raven know that the office she saw in her vision is far from her new workspace. Meanwhile, Eddie and Corey feud over a winning sweepstakes ticket. "Adventures in Boss Sitting" (22:37) (Originally aired March 24, 2006) Raven is looking forward to a romantic evening home alone with her boyfriend but when Donna Cabonna's breakup with her own boyfriend leaves her devastated, Raven is forced to entertain her date in one room and her boss in another. The episode's title foreshadow's the recently announced casting of Raven-Symoné as the lead in Disney's upcoming remake of Adventures in Babysitting. "Hook Up My Space" (22:37) (Originally aired March 31, 2006) Disney passes up an opportunity to tie-in their own "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" by parodying it when Raven is granted a home makeover from the hip TV series "Hook Up My Space." Steamed after Raven nabbed his basement space for a room in the first place, Corey schemes his way into televised revenge. Supernaturally Stylish DVD: “That’s So Not Raven” (Originally aired April 9, 2004) After having a vision of herself walking down a model runway in a self-designed dress, Raven confidently tries out for winning a place on the cover of a popular teen fashion magazine. Though she’s a hit at the tryout, the judges aren’t too happy with her chunky figure, so she decides to try to work out and slim down. After a cheesy CGI fly ruins her exercise, Raven feels discouraged and almost decides to let a sooooo skinny model wear her dress instead, until a sass-talkin’ make-up assistant makes the teen proud to be plump. All the while, little brother Cory is doing his best to acquire a “Game Ball” (ew?) video game system. “If I Only Had a Job” (Originally aired September 12, 2003) Raven has a vision of her father being fired from his job as a chef, and decides to go down to the restaurant to praise Dad and suck-up to the guy in charge. However, this only irritates the prissy owner further, and Papa Baxter is fired anyway. Determined for him to get his job back, Raven dresses up as a fake music star, with Eddie and Chelsea playing her assistants. They go down to the restaurant and convince the owner that they are legit (*rolls eyes*). They proceed to loudly sing “Since Victor Left the Food’s No Good” (set to “When the Saints Go Marching In”) and pretend to complain to Jennifer Lopez via cell phone about Mr. Baxter’s job loss. In the end, the boss discovers their true identities, and Raven’s dad still doesn’t get his job back, but father and daughter “come together in a touching moment” anyway. “He’s Got the Power” (Originally aired July 9, 2004) When a comet flies over San Fran, Eddie seems to have been stricken with the same psychic powers Raven has. Though his two friends discourage him, Eddie uses his power to see into the future to gain superficial popularity in the school, trying to get the attention of one girl in particular (Hayley Duff, Hilary’s older sister, playing a part very similar to her role in the excellent movie Napoleon Dynamite). When the comet leaves earth, Eddie loses his visions, and soon gets into trouble with a bully who was depending on the teen’s abilities for gambling. Raven and Chelsea save Eddie from being beat up, though, when they dress up as ‘70s funk-talking undercover cops who “inspect marshmallows” (again, rolls eyes). “Boyz ‘N Commotion” (Never-Before-Seen Episode) A popular boy band (a fake one – looks like they are played by models) comes to eat at Raven’s father’s restaurant, and Raven manages to spread the news all over school, causing a mob at the eatery. To get away from the throng of fans, Raven takes the three boys to her house. Upon having a home-cooked meal, the guys decide to stay for a while, and in return, promise to have Raven’s back for anything. Therefore, to prove she knows the “Boyz”, Raven promises her school they will perform that night. But in getting used to staying at a real house, the band decides to quit showbiz, and it seems Raven’s promise won’t be fulfilled . . . until Mrs. Baxter talks some hard-core “Miss Attitude” sense into the band. During this, Cory tries to collect anything the members of the pop group touch to sell on the internet for big bucks. The episode ends like most of this kind do – a lengthy on-stage performance.
