Larry O the episode is “If Only I Had a Job” you could possibly search that online I’ve been successful with certain shows that used to air on the old Disney Channel such as “Sister, Sister” “Smart Guy” etc. otherwise they do have clips of it as well on here just type “that’s so Raven do you carry a lunchbox?” On the search box And they will pop up ☺️

And now we got Raven and Chelsea on our TV's each week in Raven's Home she is amazing along with Raven

[@NateTheGr8ness]

Annaliese Van Der Pol was the best part of both That's So Raven and Raven's Home. No shade to Raven Symone cause she's a once in a lifetime talent too, but I believe if someone else were cast for the role of Chelsea, the chemistry between the two wouldn't have been the way it was.

[@Ccg9024]

Raven did actually auditioned for the role of Chelsea as the lead role went to someone else and it wasn’t called that’s so Raven. That lead girl got let go and raven got the lead and the show was changed to that’s so Raven.

[@NateTheGr8ness]

@@Ccg9024 Right! They were gonna call the show "Absolutely Psychic." It's kinda ironic how things work out and it's crazier when they don't. The title "Absolutely Psychic" wouldn't have been a good fit for that show.

[@CyLDN-lw5en]

Yh true if someone else played the role of Chelsea it wouldn’t have been an interesting or funny relationship between Raven and Chelsea like it is in real life

[@alisonhell9502]

someone else actually got the part of chelsea but raven really liked annaliese n vouched for her :)

[@joaopauloduartedasilva4101]

Actually they had three Chelseas before Anneliese. The three of them were fired cause they were simply not matching Ravens gigantic energy, and Raven herself pushed for the red-haired with musical theatre background who had auditioned weeks before. When Anneliese came in, the show was already many weeks into shooting.

[@nicolegulino]

she's so well-spoken and intelligent.

[@alieellersmith]

Literally freakin adorable

[@BeeTeaDubs]

I definitely get the impression she still has a lot of personal struggles with how she feels about herself/her life. She seems to be hiding an awful lot of pain under her plastic surgery, makeup and that huge smile. I certainly hope she's free from her eating disorder, drugs and anything else along those lines. She's such a lovely, talented person with a huge, genuine heart. The world needs more people like her. She is so sweet and I definitely see so much of Chelsea in her (in mostly good ways). No matter what though, I think us millenials will always have a special place in our nostalgic hearts for Chelsea, Raven and Eddie.

[@blackchemist2013]

I absolutely love Raven's Home. I am a little younger than Raven and have always admired her work. Raven's Home shows the power of female friendship. This show provides the positivity (of female friendship) that is lacking on television today. Yes, women can be supportive of each other and can remain friends for a lifetime and beyond.

[@AlliiMariie]

I love how they are still friends. Like she said, they make each other better. They both seem so wonderful :)

[@erichenderson6515]

I like Anneliese Van Der Pol aka Chelsea Daniels even more not only because she's best friends with Raven Symonè aka Raven Baxter in real life (not just on the shows) but also because she's one of those of people who believes in Diversity. I mean I liked her back then on the show but hearing that she thinks Diversity is better and she stood up for Raven and wanting to meet her family in certain episodes of That's so Raven. You know, That's my kind of girl. 😇😇😇

[@OnlyAtWaterlooRoad]

My friend and I used to say 'Do you carry a lunchbox' to each other every day when we were younger and we got our lunchboxes at lunchtime 😂. I don';t know why but the fact she loves the english accent so much makes me smile.

Yet another Disney Channel Star from the good ol' days that not only held it together but also seems to not have aged a day. With all do respect to all other Disney Channel stars old and new but Annaliese, Raven and Christie Carlson Romano were and are the best singers of the channel. The trio were amazing on "Circle Of Life" and their individual songs like, "Over It", "Some Call It Magic", and "Say The Word", were great as well.
