There are all types of classic TV dads: Archie Bunker from All in the Family, Ward Cleaver on Leave It to Beaver, and James Evans from Good Times are a few. TV dads from the early 2000s were a little bit different, though. They were more playful and a lot less stern, especially Victor Baxter in Disney Channel's That's So Raven. He became a fan-favorite character in the series, and viewers couldn't get enough of Raven and Cory's dad. Rondell Sheridan, the actor who played the head of the Baxter household, needed help from his loyal fans after revealing that he has been dealing with a medical condition for over a month. And those fans have delivered.

Rondell, who is 66 years old, updated his supporters on his health in a post on social media. While lying in a hospital bed, he explained that he had been hospitalized for pancreatitis.

Rondell Sheridan is sharing an upsetting health update.

On Wednesday (May 7), the 66-year-old actor, best known for playing Raven-Symoné‘s dad Victor Baxter on That’s So Raven, shared a video on Instagram from his hospital bed, revealing that he was diagnosed with severe pancreatitis nearly a month ago.

I got home on the 12th and immediately went to the hospital at North Ridge and was told it’s pancreatitis,” Rondell said, while wincing in pain. “Tons of tests. I was in the hospital for nine days. I got released and thought I was on the road to recovery but… my pancreas is inflamed and there’s not much you can do about it but just wait.”

The future is not looking bright for Raven’s Home, which has officially been cancelled by Disney Channel after six seasons, TVLine has confirmed.

A continuation of That’s So Raven, which aired on Disney Channel from 2003 to 2007, Raven’s Home reunited viewers with the sitcom’s titular psychic (played by Raven-Symoné), who was now the mother of twins — including a son Booker (Issac Ryan Brown), who has clairvoyant powers of his own. Set in Chicago for its first four seasons, Raven’s Home ultimately relocated back to San Francisco (aka the original setting of That’s So Raven) for the remainder of its run.

That’s So Raven is a celebrated classic Disney sitcom that featured the talented Raven-Symoné as teen psychic Raven Baxter, running from 2003 to 2007. The endearing comedy centered on the spunky high-school student and her close pals Chelsea and Eddie, and chronicled the many hijinks and misadventures the trio got mixed up in due to Raven’s not-so-clear visions. The wholesome show famously showcased Raven wearing hilariously over-the-top disguises she would create during her many schemes, and amassed a devoted fan base during its tenure.

With an additional cast including Anneliese van der Pol, Orlando Brown, and Kyle Massey, the sitcom helped establish the careers of its up-and-coming leads. That’s So Raven was a ratings dream for Disney Channel and garnered critical acclaim throughout its four seasons, becoming the first show on the network to exceed three seasons and reach 100 episodes.

The comedy also experienced some growing pains throughout its run, with...

Season five saw Raven (Symoné) and her son Booker (Brown) return home to San Francisco to take care of her father (Sheridan) after he has a mild heart attack.

Pittsburgh — Dr. Ravi Godse is on call nearly 24/7 as a top internal medicine specialist in Pittsburgh, but he so loves writing, directing and starring in movies that he wants other people to love them, too.

And he is so convinced you'll love his third independent film being released on DVD on Tuesday, "Help Me Help You," that he's offering a money-back guarantee and a personal, e-mailed apology if you don't.

"These days, we are too busy and the money's too tight," said Dr. Ravi, as he likes to be called in person and as the recurring character in his films. "That's why I thought the apology was heartfelt. It's like, `I'm sorry, guys, that I couldn't entertain you.'"

Godse began making movies in 2004 and "Help Me Help You" is the first to see a limited release in theaters. It's being released on DVD by Monarch Home Entertainment and sold through Amazon and elsewhere,...

A trio of actors have signed on to guest star on Disney Channel's upcoming series Cory in the House, a spinoff of the network's hit comedy That's So Raven.

George Takei, known for his role as Sulu on the original Star Trek, Don Stark, who played Bob Pinciotti on Fox's That '70s Show, and Lupe Ontiveros, who played Carlos Solis' mother on ABC's Desperate Housewives, are appearing on the series, which premieres at 9:30 p.m. Jan. 12.

Cory, which marks Disney Channel's first-ever series spinoff, features Raven's Kyle Massey and Rondell Sheridan reprising their roles as son and father Cory and Victor Baxter. The show finds the pair moving to the White House after Victor is hired as the personal chef to the newly elected president (John D'Aquino), now that Raven has gone off to college and mom Tanya has moved to the U.K. to finish law school.

Takei and Stark are appearing in the same episode, with Takei playing Ronald, the snooty head steward on Air Force One, and Stark playing Russian Prime Minister Schuzoff.

Disney Channel is set to go into production on its first series spinoff, Cory in the House, which features two characters from the network's hit comedy That's So Raven. In the series, Kyle Massey and Rondell Sheridan will reprise the roles they have played for the past four years -- Cory and Victor Baxter, a son and father now making the move to the White House. While Raven goes off to college and mom Tanya moves to the U.K. to finish law school, Victor is handpicked to be the personal chef to the newly elected president. He and Cory move into the staff quarters of the White House and must contend with characters including the president's sly 8-year-old daughter and his no-nonsense personal adviser.

October Moon Television said Monday that its syndicated comedy-reality strip That's Funny is expanding to 143 markets for its second season starting in September.

Disney Channel has picked up the freshman comedy That's So Raven for a second season. The show, which stars Raven (NBC's The Cosby Show) as a psychic teen who can see glimpses of the future and change the course of events, is set to begin production today on the new season. "Even before we launched this sitcom, we knew Raven and her fellow cast members were gems," said Gary Marsh, executive vp original programming and production at Disney Channel. "Each has their own brand of physical comedy, and together they are like The Carol Burnett Show meets In Living Color for kids and families." After a big launch in January, which posted records for a Disney Channel original series premiere in households (3.0 rating) and key demos including kids 6-11 (8.4) and tweens 9-14 (8.1), Raven has established itself as a hit for the channel, running neck and neck in the ratings with the juggernaut Lizzie McGuire. Co-starring on Raven, from Brookwell McNamara Entertainment and Disney Channel, are Orlando Brown, Anneliese van der Pol, Kyle Orlando Massey, T'Keyah Crystal Keymah and Rondell Sheridan. David Brookwell, Sean McNamara, Marc Warren and Dennis Rinsler are executive producing.
