Yuck it up

"A laugh track with a television show underneath, this spinoff of "That's So Raven" explodes with hoots, howls and hollers about once every eight seconds. But, realistically, it's never really very funny.
As for the four episodes on this DVD, "Never The Dwayne Shall Meet" stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Raven-Symoné reprises her role as Cory's sister in "That's So In The House." The other two are "Air Force One Too Many," in which Cory accidentally gives the state of Alaska back to the Russians, and "Just Desserts," in which chaos reigns after Cory and his friends attempt to make pastries for a presidential banquet.
The disc has two short bonus features. The four-minute "Raven in the House" takes you backstage during the filming of the "That's So in the House" with Raven-Symoné. The two-minute "Rock in the House" features... no, not The Rock, but the show's main child stars Kyle Massey, Maiara Walsh and Madison Pettis, who gush about how much fun it was to act with the former wrestler.
As you can probably tell, this DVD just leaves me cold. But still, I guess that for those times when your kids have to watch television, it's better that they be occupied by this harmless, happy yuckfest than whatever they'll run across on cable."
