A few days ago entertainer Raven-Symoné announced that she is leaving the daytime talk show, “The View”.
Symoné has been a host since June 2015 and has enjoyed her time being a part of the show.
The 30-year-old actress is leaving the show because she is the executive producer of the “That’s So Raven” spinoff. That’s right, you heard it! Symoné is bringing back everyone’s favorite show to Disney channel.
The show, “That’s So Raven’” first aired January 17, 2003, and ended November 10, 2007 at the end of the fourth season. There weren’t that many African American televisions shows on Disney channel, so when this show came out it brought more diversity to the channel.
The show also brought up important topics for kids to know like racism, bullying, loving yourself and many more. Of course the show made people laugh and was enjoyable to watch, but it was ultimately a positive and inspirational show for kids all ages.
The news about the spin off came out and of course people had their share of comments on social media. There was definitely mixed reviews; some became excited and can’t wait for the show to come back, while others don’t think that the show is a good idea and that it’s not going to be good. Usually spin offs aren’t good to viewers because they feel like it’s not the same as the original.
People that are looking forward to seeing the show are hoping that it will come out to be the same and hope the original cast will be involved as well. Details about the cast and when the show will air have not been publicized, but Raven stated that they have started filming and it will come soon.
Some people are also taking this as a joke because within the past few years, Symoné has been caught up in so much controversy that the black community doesn’t even want to acknowledge her. Symoné has made many comments about race and the black lives matter movement that did not please many people. No one knows when the show will air yet, but everyone will be looking forward to seeing how the show will turn out and if it will bring back old memories as well.
