I always thought Hellcats was a ripoff of Glee.
Saw Archer once.
But I love Family Guy but Cleveland wasn't nowhere near my favorite character so I never watched it. I saw a few scenes and it wasn't funny but silly. One of the worst spin off ideas if you ask me.
Haven't watched GH since 1996. Got tired of The Sonny Show. The best IR couple they had was Jason and Keisha then they missed that up. I have a feeling GH will be going like most other soaps soon.
Best Wishes!


I knew when Glee became popular other shows would bite and here came Hellcats. I'd never watch that and one reason is that the so-called teens on HC look like they are pushing 35. LOL! Please can't they get actors who at least look the ages they're playing? Anyway I don't watch teen shows or high school shows. Just don't interest me. They seem to all be the same. I liked shows like 90210, Party of Five, though. I liked the 90's teen dramas because they had depth and good actors. Now? Please.
It seems to me that Glee's not as popular as it was last year. I only say that because I barely hear anyone talking about it now.
Best Wishes!

Hellcats, though, is a surprise. It has a very diverse cast and showcases three IR relationships. The writing isn't terrible. It actually has some wit and nuance. I like how hard-core Collegiate athletic politics flows underneath all the main plots. The school is under NCAA sanction for pay-for-play. The cheerleaders are always fighting for respect to be taken seriously as athletes, the Athletic director weilds a lot of power on campus because of the money athletics brings in and he's a huge jerk. etc. And the show does something many CW shows don't do, it uses it's ensemble very well. There are about 8 regular characters and they all get their share of material. Unlike, say, Glee or Vampire Diaries, it doesn't Mary Sue it's main characters at the expense of everyone else.
I also like the fact that HC is set in college. You don't have to roll your eyes that 16 year old 11th graders are acting with the sophistication of much older people.
Also, one slight correction, the Sharon Leal character isn't married. But I do have my money on her going for the Hot coach rather than her rather sweet boyfriend. There is some old business between her and the coach that seems pretty powerful.

Oh and Angela Bassett will also be in the Green Lantern, which I think is pretty cool.
