For those unfamiliar, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody starred Cole Sprouse, Dylan Sprouse, Brenda Song, Ashley Tisdale, Phill Lewis and Kim Rhodes. The series centered on the hijinks of two twin brothers who lived at a hotel where their mother was a lounge singer.

Over the show’s several seasons, its guest stars included Victoria Justice, Jaden Smith, Jesse McCartney, Zac Efron, Selena Gomez, and Kay Panabaker.

London then taps Maddie to be the producer and she books Chris Brown for the next episode. However, unbeknownst to them, Cody had already booked The Cheetah Girls to appear.

If you’d like to watch parts of the episode, there are some short clips on YouTube.

And while the episode may have been pulled from the network and has never been on any streaming service, the episode can still be purchased on Google Play, Amazon, iTunes and more as a part of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, Vol. 7. episode set, which is also available on DVD.
