Notes about Crossovers:

  • Some crossovers, like "That's So Suite Life of Hannah Montana," are counted as three separate episodes. This is because each show had its own part of the story.
  • "Austin & Jessie & Ally All Star New Year" and "Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med" are special. They are counted as episodes for both shows involved. This is because they were big events that connected both series.
  • The crossovers released in October 2015 were all connected. They happened at a Halloween party in Central Park.
