I'm not going to lie, I've loved Raven-Symoné since The Cosby Show. And even though I was not even close to being in the key demo for That's So Raven, I watched it occasionally with my younger cousins. Raven-Symoné is just so bubbly and fun that I can't help but love her.
Tonight, she returns to television in a new ABC Family show called State of Georgia. Sure, it's a bit formulaic, but it's cute and Raven-Symoné is always upbeat. She stars as Georgia Chamberlain in this half-hour comedy. An aspiring actress, she and her best friend Jo (Roswell's Majandra Delfino), have moved to New York City so that Georgia can make it big. Jo's socially awkward with a passion for science and strives to be accepted into the Physics department of a top university. Grey's Anatomy's Loretta Devine rounds out the main case as Georgia's Aunt Honey, who lets the girls rent out a portion of her lavish apartment.
In the premiere episode Georgia heads off to an audition only to meet with a snooty casting director who isn't eager to cast her in anything. This is one of those shows that blends comedy with important life lessons about being yourself. So, yes, a bit cheesy, but I liked it.
Below are three sneak peeks for tonight's premiere of State of Georgia, as well as promo photos from the episode.

She's one of the few Disney vets not to turn into a looney slut.
Well put Alex. Lol. I watched the show tonight and found myself laughing several times.
