- Touched on important issues (Black History, Anorexia, Weight Issues )

- The series premiere was watched by 3.5 million viewers, the first Disney Channel series to garner more than 3 million viewers

That's So Raven wasn't the first live-action black sitcom. Good Times and The Cosby Show did that long before that show premiered. Anyway, it was a great show. I loved watching it as a child. "Feelin' the Love" is my jam.
These stats alone were groundbreaking for Disney.
The 65 curse is kind of back these days too. Raven was so iconic for breaking it and creating the 3 million viewer standard that all Disney shows now need to follow or else they get cancelled.
