In 2001, Raven-Symoné auditioned for a role on an upcoming series for the Disney Channel titled "Absolutely Psychic", about a teenager with psychic abilities. She actually auditioned for the recurring role of Chelsea Daniels, but her role was changed to the lead character Raven Baxter and the series name changed to "That's So Raven". The series debuted on January 17, 2003, and ended on November 10, 2007, becoming responsible for many firsts for Disney Channel including becoming the channel's highest-rated and longest-running series at 100 episodes (until it was surpassed by "Wizards of Waverly Place" in October 2011). The title character draws on her talent, ingenuity, psychic powers, and a variety of disguises to get in and out of amusing adolescent and pre-adolescent situations. It spawned a franchise including soundtracks, dolls, episode DVDs, and video games. "That's So Raven" was nominated for Outstanding Children's Program during the 2005 and 2007 Emmy Awards. "That's So Raven", was the first Disney Channel series to have four seasons and 100 episodes. Merchandise has earned to date $400 million. The show also launched the channel's first spin-off series, "Cory in the House".
