"The Cheetah Girls" was a sitcom based off the Disney Channel Original movie film series of the same name. The film series had 3 films in it. However there was also originally supposed to be a TV series based on The Cheetah Girls.

The Cheetah Girls was supposed to air during the 2004-2005 season on ABC. The plot for the TV show is unknown but it is presumed to be the same plot as the movies's. According to Wikipedia, it is possible that up to 4 episodes were shot around late 2003 and the rest were supposed to be shot in the beginning of 2004. At least one episode was confirmed to have been shot. It is still unknown just exactly how many episodes were actually completed for the show.

The show ran into some difficulties at the time. Raven Simone was on another popular Disney show at the time called That's so Raven and it seems that she wasn't able to do The Cheetah Girls as she wanted to focus solely on That's so Raven. The show ended up not being picked up by ABC and it is still unknown why it was never picked up, however, it could simply be due to Simone not being able to participate in the show.

The episodes that were made never aired on television and, due to the obscurity of the show, it is unlikely the shot episodes will ever be aired on TV. However, the three Cheetah Girl films can easily be found.
