That’s So Raven gave us a Halloween episode about Raven and Chelsea… turning into cows?! 🐄🎃

This week on Friends of Disney, our Disney Channel Halloween marathon continues with That’s So Raven and its Halloween episode, “Don’t Have a Cow.”

And after watching it, we have one pretty major question:

What did any of this have to do with Halloween?!

Raven and Chelsea desperately want invitations to Alana's Halloween party, discover a mysterious spell book, accidentally begin turning into cows…and eventually we discover that almost the entire thing was one of Raven's visions.

Meanwhile, Cory just wants to go trick-or-treating without his dad.

And somehow THAT becomes the Halloween storyline we actually care about.

We break down the bizarre cow transformation, Chelsea's vegetarian storyline, Raven's unusually long vision, the spell book that doesn't really fit the rest of the show, Alana's incredibly underwhelming Halloween party, and why Cory's much simpler trick-or-treating story captures Halloween better than the main plot.

Plus, Megan attempts to understand That’s So Raven with almost no memory of the show, Jonell provides some much-needed Raven lore, we compare this episode to the JONAS Halloween episode, and we get completely distracted debating what actually makes a good Halloween party.

🐄 Why are Raven and Chelsea turning into cows?
🔮 Does the spell book even make sense in That’s So Raven?
🎃 Does this actually qualify as a good Halloween episode?
🍬 When do kids become “too old” to trick-or-treat with their parents?
👻 What makes a genuinely great Halloween party?
😂 And why is Megan SO confused by everything happening?

We wanted Disney Channel Halloween.

We got cows.

Was “Don’t Have a Cow” actually a good Halloween episode, or does Halloween just happen to be the day it takes place?

JONAS went ghost hunting for Halloween… but did Disney Channel actually make the most of it? 👻🎃

This week on Friends of Disney, we're kicking off our Disney Channel Halloween episodes with JONAS and its ghost-hunting Halloween adventure!

Kevin is convinced a ghost is haunting the firehouse, Nick and Joe decide to mess with him, Stella screams approximately a thousand times, and suddenly the Jonas Brothers are running around with cameras trying to prove whether ghosts are real.

But for an episode with such a great Halloween setup… did JONAS actually take the idea far enough?

We talk about the episode's hilarious opening, Kevin's obsession with ghosts, the VERY 2000s ghost-hunting aesthetic, Stella's endless screaming, the prank that doesn't quite land, and all the spooky possibilities we wish the episode had explored.

And somehow, this leads us into our own experiences with ghost hunting, Ouija boards, old-school paranormal TV and YouTube, whether we actually believe in ghosts, and why Disney Channel Halloween episodes were such a memorable part of growing up.

The Jonas Brothers are supposed to be global superstars...but has JONAS actually shown us that yet? 🤨🎸

This week on Friends of Disney, we're continuing our JONAS rewatch with Episode 4, as the Jonas family attempts to spend some time being a “normal family.”

Mrs. Jonas wants Joe, Nick and Kevin to live a little more like ordinary teenagers — doing chores, having family dinners and cutting back on some of the ridiculous perks that come with being famous. But there's one problem: the episode also expects us to believe these three are enormous superstars without the show doing much to establish it.

And that leads us down a rabbit hole.

We debate whether Mrs. Jonas is asking too much of her sons, whether being famous should change normal family expectations, why the brothers are more concerned about disappointing their mom than their own safety, and whether this storyline happened WAY too early in the series.

Plus, we get a bizarre trip to a thrift store, Macy going full fangirl, questionable disguises, exhausted Jonas Brothers, private jets for pizza, and one very important comparison to Big Time Rush.

🎸 Does JONAS rely too much on the audience already knowing the real Jonas Brothers were famous?

🏠 Was Mrs. Jonas asking for a reasonable “normal family” life?

😴 How many chores are reasonable when your kids are literally falling asleep standing up?

📺 And did this episode age particularly badly now that we're watching JONAS years removed from peak Jonas Brothers mania?

This might be our least favorite JONAS episode so far — but it gave us plenty to question.

Do you remember this episode? And do you think JONAS actually did a good job establishing the brothers as superstars?
