PARTY LIKE IT'S THE EARLY 2000s DURING ABC FAMILY'S END-OF-THE-YEAR PROGRAMMING EVENT "THAT'S SO THROWBACK"

"That's So Throwback" Will Feature Disney Channel Classic Sitcoms and Original Movies

Burbank, CA (December 22, 2014) - ABC Family says goodbye to 2014 with its "That's So Throwback" programming block, featuring Disney Channel classic comedy series "Lizzie McGuire," "That's So Raven," "Even Stevens," and original movies "The Cheetah Girls" and "Halloweentown." "That's So Throwback" airs Monday, December 29th, 2014 through Friday, January 2nd, 2015, from midnight to 2AM ET/PT.

There is no better time for nostalgia than the end of the year, so why not spend those late nights catching up on the favorite shows of your tween years? Life was simpler when all you had to worry about was whether or not Lizzie was actually going to find Aaron Carter, if Luis beats those mean school bullies at their own game, or if The Cheetah Girls will get their record deal. So instead of reminiscing about your Disney Channel friends or going online to watch clips, hang out with ABC Family and watch the real thing instead.

The schedule is as follows:

(12:00 AM-2:00 AM ET/PT) CHEETAH GIRLS

Set in Manhattan, "The Cheetah Girls" tells the story of four multi-talented teens from dissimilar homes and economic backgrounds -- a cultural melting pot of Black, Italian, Dominican, Puerto Rican and Cuban heritages -- with a dream to take the world by storm with their music group. Galleria (Raven-Symone), Chanel (Adrienne Bailon), Aqua (Kiely Williams) and Dorinda (Sabrina Bryan) are The Cheetah Girls, with their own hip, playful "slanguage" and a credo that suggests all Cheetah Girls are created equal, but not alike. The Cheetah Girls enter their school talent contest spearheaded by faculty adviser Drinka Champagne (Sandra Caldwell), an erstwhile '70s disco queen turned drama teacher. But tension mounts and The Cheetah Girls start to unravel after blind ambition gets the best of Galleria. In between pursuing their big dream of getting a record deal, the dynamic, strong-minded foursome navigates their young world of "cheetah-licious" fashion and boys, including Galleria's occasional nemesis Derek (Kyle Schmid). All the while, Galleria resists taking advice from her protective mother Dorothea (Lynne Whitfield), a former model who wants to shield the girls from exploitation and disappointment; Chanel wonders if her single mom is more interested in dating than parenting; and Dorinda struggles with the secret shame not even her trusted Cheetah sisters know she carries - she has spent her entire life in foster care. "The Cheetah Girls" is based on the best-selling book series by journalist-turned-author Deborah Gregory and is executive-produced by Debra Martin Chase and Whitney Houston.

Brown), Dylan (Joey Zimmerman) and Sophie (Emily Roeske) in her mission to save Halloweentown from the sinister forces of evil which threaten to take it over. When Aggie Cromwell visits her daughter's family on October 31, it is for one reason only - to garner the help of Gwen and her children in saving Aggie's hometown from imminent destruction by a force of evil that threatens its very existence. But Gwen has been raising her three children in the mortal world and has no intention of exposing them to life among the witches, warlocks and other offbeat creatures of Halloweentown.
