- Certain crossover events like "Austin & Jessie & Ally All Star New Year," "Lab Rats vs. Mighty Med," "Good Luck Jessie: NYC Christmas," and "Raven About Bunk'd" are counted as episodes within each participating show due to their collaborative nature.
- The crossovers aired on October 2 and 4, 2015, are linked together, taking place during a Halloween celebration in Central Park.
