When fans of the mother series That’s So Raven first received buzz about a spinoff in the works,  a wave of excitement took over social media. Now that Raven’s Home is finally on the air, have you had the chance to sit down and catch up with one of Disney’s most iconic characters? Here’s the top five reasons why you should.

1) Raven and Chelsea are ultimate friendship goals!

This sitcom solidifies what fans already knew; that the friendship between Raven Baxter and Chelsea Daniels is truly unbreakable. Although both of their marriages ended in divorce, the two best friends are now making the best out of life and raising their kids together. It’s both refreshing and exciting to see Raven and Chelsea as adults juggling the challenges of motherhood. Watching them in this whole new element makes you feel like you’ve grown up right along with them as you watch it. Not to mention that neither one of their characters’ personalities have changed at all in the since we’ve last seen them. Even though a decade has passed, it feels as if the show is picking right back up where they left off.

2) The fate of Raven and Devon’s relationship is finally confirmed.

I know I’m not alone here when I say that I always hoped Raven’s relationship with her high school sweetheart, Devon Carter, would stand the tests of time. While the show’s writers did give fans the satisfaction of  marrying the two, the union didn’t last. However, the two of them seem to be on overall good terms with each other despite past issues and are able to co-parent just fine.

3) You get to see Raven as a parent!

How could any of us who watched the show ever forget all of the stress Raven put her parents through with her notorious psychic visions? Now it’s her turn at bat to try and deal with the same everyday shenanigans from her own children. Luckily, thanks to her experience with visions of the future and the hilarity that always follows, Raven is more than ready to accept the challenge.

4) It makes you feel like a kid again.

It is impossible to watch this show and not get nostalgic about the glory days of  That’s So Raven.  Whether you’re having flashbacks of all the trouble Raven used to get into, or just feeling old as you watch her and Chelsea be amazing moms to their kids,  Raven’s Home will definitely make you miss your childhood. It’ll also make you wonder what characters from other shows, like Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens are up to now. Before you know it your mind will be trying to predict everybody’s lives from all of your favorite childhood shows.
