Talk:Cory in the House

Did you notice this?

When they call it a 'spin off,' they really mean 'a continuation of the same show with different characters and situations.' What I mean by this is that it's the same format: in That's so Raven, it was 2 girls and 1 guy hanging out and getting into outrageous situations with unfunny jokes (well i liked that's so raven's, but this other show is tarded). In the first raven did really weird things to get laughs, cory does the same. Instead of the side story being about the main character's younger sibling, it's the president's daughter, or the parents (like in that's so raven).

But it's dumb b/c the mom is gone for some reason (i don't watch it that often) and Raven is never heard of. Neither are eddie and raven's third friend, which is unrealistic. I talk to my sister and the kids from her class all the time and they graduated and are in college too.

Furthermore, in Raven, Chelsea (remembered her name :) is a dumb friend and Eddie is a smart friend. In this, the dude is dumb (same as raven, the same sex is the stupid one) and the other friend (opposite sex) is smart(ish). Also, from what I've seen when they play in their band, it's extremely obvious that they aren't playing. They should try to make it look real.

And my last observance is how unrealistic the situation is. A very unfamous chef from California gets hired to work for the president, and sees him almost regularly, and has a daughter that (in the episode I saw) going all over the white house, being in the oval office and such. just an observance. --208.71.219.140 (talk) 23:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

It's Disney, it's designed for Children, it isn't suppose to be realistic. Children aren't that all technical, a majourity of disney shows are designed for a young pre-treen audience. So you're look at like maybe 8-12? Plus, i watch that show and I'm 16. I don't sit there, and younger children certinaly don't sit there and analyse a t.v show for being realistic and I actually think it is realisitc. This type of Spin-off is based on the premisis of when a supporting character or characters in an existing series are given their own show in which they become the main focus. The original series continues without them and there may be some crossover of characters between the shows on occasion.

Of course, in this case "That's so raven" didn't continue, a better example would be "Angel" from "Buffy the vampire slayer". Corey in the house has the exact same premisis of that's so Raven, whcih you have pointed out.

If you watched the That's so Raven series, you'll see the mum is studying in England, and Raven jsut graduated Hgih School, meaning she's off to College...Or university (whatever you americans call it). So that naturally leaves Victor and Cory, the president comes to town and (you'll see with presidents when they visit major cities they visit the "hot spot" and in this universe, The Chil Grill is the hot-spot, so it is actually likely the president would go there, this president Martinez, is very excentric, so you can actually see him hiring this random chef for his amazing cooking. The obvious reason for a spin-off is when people enjoyed the show, so they didn't want to change the premisis, so they kept the main character with the odd quirk (raven is pshycic and corey is money greedy) and there is the two friends, most t.v shows have a minor character they can give stories too, in this case "sophie" this gives them the ability to fill out epsidoes if their under time. oh and the president does have his own chef who resides in the white house. it's much like the shower "suite life on deck" all the possible adventures and episodes have been exploited. with a new show they can add new characters and add new episodes based on the new setting. But in all honesty, it actually seems very realisitc. A spin off is exactly as you said "a continuation of the same show with different characters and situations." they just use Minor characters from the series to make a new one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.111.182.107 (talk) 13:28, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

The picture

I dont think we need the fake promo picture, its not even real, its just pictures off google putted into one whole picture.

Is this even confirmed?

is it?

DUHHHH! y do u think it was on Disney 365?--Cutie 4 life 22:24, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

In Canada, we have both Disney 365 and Disney 411. They are pretty much the same but 411 is canadian. 207.6.204.135 (talk) 03:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)-CBeveridge-207.6.204.135 (talk) 03:20, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Theme Song?

Well, the article notes that the theme song can be heard on Disney Channel's website but all I hear are (very short) samples...I think we need to edit that unless somebody can post a link. 72.229.142.177 00:17, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Should we put something in about its simirality to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Hshiwani 13:03, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Other than a rap theme song and the main character moving to the other side of the country, if there are more similarities, I'd be in favor of it. WAVY 10 01:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Rank

How is hannah montana top rated. Suite Life Of Zack and Cody is way better. And Cory in the house cant be number two.

http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117957517.html?categoryid=14&cs=1] Click on dis link, it says Cory in the House is the most-watched DCOS beating Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zack and Cody.

Please get your facts correct. It was only most watched for the Series premiere. Switchfo0t813 18:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Please, Hannah Montana is WAYYYY better then both TSLOZAC and CITH.

Better Days?

I searched the list of That's So Raven Episodes AND Corey in the House Episodes and I saw no episodes titled as such so I think the spin off line aught to be removed. Timekeeper 01:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Trivia and rumors

Trivia is, by in large, something to be avoided. Much of it can be folded into the article, and if it can't we should think hard if it's notable. I've merged the trivia in the production notes, and pulled out the TSR guest star notes. The only line in that whole section that wasn't a rumor was uncited. Please try and link articles to what you put in, folks :) We're doing good here! -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 14:58, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Can someone, anyone, provide a citation for the ep with Raven, Eddie and Tanya? I can't find the ep listed anywhere but here, and no one's yet been able to pull in sources. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 18:04, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Picture of Cast

Will someone please stop moving the picture of the main characters from characters to production, Since it is a picture of the main characters, it should be in characters! 216.54.173.171 22:26, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Presidential Universe

"In this universe Richard Martinez is the president, and in his first term. The show must be set in present time, as That's so Raven was. In one episode Victor mentions several previous presidents including Bill Clinton, which means that real U.S. history ran its course until the 2000 Presidential Election in November. It is unknown if George W. Bush exists in this universe, but if he did he either served only one term, or lost re-election to Martinez, making this fictional president a Democrat.

However, in this series Richard Martinez has just won re-election, providing a signifigant goof if the year really is 2007, or either changing the show's time to 2008 or 2004."

If he's a Democrat, where did John Kerry go?

It's Disney. It's a TV show. Who knows. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 18:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Charactar Paragraph

I think that you need to explain more about the charactars, like John D'Aquino: "The President of the United States of America". You can do better then that! "He acts the president of the united states of america, who sometimes is BRILLIANT yet is sometimes just dim-witted. He is a father figure for Cory and often wishes he could just go out like a regular person. He's serious when the occassion needs it, but still has a lot of kid left in him. It is revealed that his hobby is "bird-calling". What do you think Happykid536 23:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

And the Weenie is...

TV.Com, a rather reliable source, keeps pulling that episode off their CitH page. The episode page is still there, but the episode list page no longer lists it. It's supposed to air on the 18th, if at all, so I think we should err on the side of cation and not add it until it airs. Disney's been playing merry cob with their schedules. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 13:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I would like to remove this from the "crossovers" section, as it does not seem to be one, but a character intro, and would prefer prior permission.Goodone121 22:33, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Umm, hi did anybody notice this?!?!

Umm yea did anybody notive this in the opening paragraph about the main character being a negro. That seems a little out of line. I know it's BAD, but it's politically correct either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.232.22.50 (talk)

We call that vandalism and it's been reverted. If you see things like that, you too can edit the page and fix it :) -- Ipstenu (talk • contribs) 19:17, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Why is negro bad or politically incorrect. Black is less politically correct and not all "negroes" are from Africa leaving out African-Americans and colored is too vague. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.183.68.197 (talk) 23:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

What are you talking about? It's common knowledge that "black" is the most politically correct term and "negro" is actially considered incredibly offensive. Tidus mi2 (talk) 12:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Episode Review

There is currently a discussion here about whether or not the articles on the individul episodes of this series follow guidelines and policies, and therefore warrant their own articles. This is not an attack on the show, it just means that for whatever reason, this series was chosen to be evaluated now. You are invited to comment at the discussion. You also may wish to refresh your memories on the policies and guidelines on notability, verifiability and reliable sources. I  ^{(said) (did)} 22:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Uhm, I don't think this is correct...

In the trivia section, it says: In Cory in the House, Cory is in the 8th Grade and in the beginning of That's So Raven Raven is also in the 8th Grade. I didn't want to erase it if that were true, but I think she was in the 9th grade when she started cuz she was 14 when she was starting out, and Cory moved up from Elementry (or Grade) School to Junior High in some of the episodes from the last season (which brings on the next question). The Juicer said "We're gonna have alot of fun for the next three years in the episode "Juicer Consequences", yet when he moves to Washington D.C., he is in the 8th Grade. O_o Any answers to this? XD ZSoraz 01:51, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

I think he says that because in That's So Raven it is stated that he got held back. He probably thinks Middle school is three years or so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.252.225.206 (talk) 21:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Howard Stern links

Should something be added about the links between this show and the Howard Stern universe? I speak of at least two events that I have noticed: the curse-breaking incantation in 1x09 "Bahavian Idol" where Cory makes the fake incantation of "In-a-gadda-da-vida baba booey baba booey", and in 1x15 "Air Force One Too Many" which stars Stern alum George Takei. I have missed quite a few episodes so I am sure there are links/references that I may have missed. This may just be a simple case of the writers/producers, maybe even cast being fans of the Stern show, but either way it seems to be an intentional link between two wildly different shows/universes. Seems worth a mention in trivia at the very least. =)

Which means what? Trivia sections are discouraged at Wikipedia. The Takei casting choice could have simply been the fact that one of the producers remembered him from the only good Star Trek there was for all we know. And if it's because the writers/producers are fans, I wouldn't put it in. WAVY 10 19:55, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, the article currently has a Trivia section, and otherwise, if it is a prevalent theme throughout the series, it may warrant an inclusion. Like I said I can't be too sure for having not seen many of the episodes, but I've noticed those two links at the least, and I wouldn't doubt there to be more. I'm mentioning it here in the thought that someone might be able to list some other links and maybe gauge the relevance of inclusion. -- I would agree that those two simple links I listed wouldn't be worth much more than trivia, but if it IS prevalent throughout... I'm repeating here but hopefully you get the gist. 71.153.49.213 04:32, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

What wrong with trivia?

I started a trivia column about two months ago and people have been deleting it constantly. It's not like there is anything wrong with it, it just needs a little clean up. I know trivia sections are discouraged but there is not to much wrong with it.

Here me out, PLEASE DO NOT DELETE IT!

That is all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.252.246.23 (talk) 22:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Think of trivia as a list of unorganized facts that should be in the article somewhere. The goal is to eventually organize the information and put it in the article. As such trivia sections are temporarily permitted but should eventually go away. See WP:TRIVIA for a better discussion. Some trivia is too trivial to ever be in the article, so it shouldn't be in a trivia section either and should be removed (judgment call). Editors should leave trivia sections alone for a while and not remove them immediately but a good article won't have them. --NrDg 22:12, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the first user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.39.176.87 (talk) 22:02, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

So why don't they get rid of the bad ones? Trivia isn't bad it can be helpful and interesting. Arn't those two what wikipedia stands for?

As stated above, the goal is to organize them and put them in an article. If a trivia is something "helpful and interesting," you can incorporate those trivia inside an article. TJ Reyes 04:28, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the first user AND the second user.

As do I.

Please put it back.

Unless this is picked up by multiple reliable sources as being something of note, this is just fannish trivia. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:54, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Right. There are countless articles promoting Shrek as a meme, and while this does seem to be a prevalent meme online, if there's no sources than the administration will see no use in including such information in the article. If the production team of the show acknowledged this however, then I think it'd be quite relevant. -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 05:06, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

The show being called an anime

In recent months I have been seeing this show being called "the greatest anime of all time". That is completely false. The show is a live action sitcom made in America not from Japan. Same could be said with LazyTown, Shrek, Johnny Test, The Nutshack, and Bee Movie. Do you guys not know what animes are? MechMaster Katzenstein (talk) 02:31, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Any edits to this article classifying this show as anime is deliberate misinformation vandalism and should be treated as such and the editor adding it warned about vandalism edits. This may also be considered a deliberate insult to the lead actor with potential racist overtones based on names similar to anime as applied to him. Geraldo Perez (talk) 02:46, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Actually both of you are wrong... sure it's vandalism but 1. they're not confusing live action productions or American productions with anime, they're deliberately deeming it as an anime because 2. it's a joke. It doesn't have racist undertones nor is any type of offense intended. This is what is known as a "meme" and anyone even moderately associated with the internet or any type of media should be able to realize both 1. and 2. This is "meme" culture, the type of humor millennials are into. I shouldn't have to explain this type of humor to anyone, but the point is deeming an American Disney show as two dimensional Japanese production -- the humor being that this isn't true. It's outrageous and almost random. If anything, I can almost see legitimate information being entered into the article regarding its position as a "meme", just as has been done to the Shrek franchise's Wikipedia. As long as there are sources. The only reason this hasn't been included in the article is because there aren't enough sources to cover it. After all, the joke seems to be fizzling out in the media, and therefore doesn't have enough of an impact for Wikipedia. -- AlexanderHovanec (talk) 05:04, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Jokes have no place on Wikipedia in this regard. It is deliberate misinformation and vandalism no matter how it's looked at. Amaury (talk | contribs) 05:08, 31 January 2018 (UTC)

If there's solid references, perhaps. I'm sure there are tabloid-ish clickbait crap articles that mention it, but really should be from decent publications. It's not widespread as far as I can tell, so borderline worth including. Ravensfire (talk) 17:13, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
