This show looks like a winner. Hellcats is a new cheerleading dramedy on The CW and starts in two weeks (Wednesday September 8 at 9pm). Entertainment Weekly describes it as "Election meets Bring It On". You might be sarcastically thinking "Ah yes, the perfect recipe for a successful show" but those two movies were actually solid. It's about a "rough around the edges" pre-law student who needs to join the cheerleading team as a way to get a scholarship and pay for college. Even though Snooki could have come up with a better premise I'll probably watch a few episodes because that's just what I do - I watch shitty shows on terrible networks.
"Hellcats" stars one of my all-time Disney favorites, Alyson Michalka. You should know by now that I have a soft-spot for blondes but she's also been in some great things. Phil of the Future was a phenomenal TV show and Bandslam was a very great under the radar movie. She's even had a successful singing career and has put out some really catchy songs (if you don't believe me click here and here).
"Hellcats" also stars Ashley Tisdale who is a perfect example of somehow who looks HORRENDOUS without makeup. I'm still not sold on her being in this show because she was in a "Bring It On" movie that went straight to DVD and wasn't even good enough to get a Rotten Tomatoes review. She's also the worst part of "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody". And no, I definitely have never seen that show before.
