02. Sister, Sister- Though it was used by almost
every cast member, the catchphrase "Go home, Roger!" was first used by Ray.

of the book, The Time Machine. This may be a joke, as the Diffys arrive in present-day in a time machine.
13. Naturally, Sadie- This show is quite similar to That's So Raven because
the two best friends have the same dream — the African-American ones (Margaret & Raven) want to be fashion designers
and are quite stylish, and the Caucasian ones (Sadie and Chelsea) are both into environmental biologyand are redheads.
Both also have annoying brothers ( Hal & Cory), a quirky mom & dad (Walter & Jean/Victor & Tanya) and popular
