Hit the Floor

So I watch another program on VH1 and I saw the adverts for this show. Being a straight guy, I figure the show would be tailored made for me, hot chicks wearing skimpy outfits dancing to a good grove. I couldn't be more wrong. The chicks are hot, but the writing, acting. music and directing is so atrocious that it inspired me to read, go hiking, count the imperfections in my ceiling.. anything but watch this show. The characters are cookie cutter characters... the new and kind girl who wants to be friends with everyone. The head evil cheerleader who is extremely mean spirited. Throw in the love interest, the basketball player who LITERALLY gets run into by accident by the new girl. And throw in the most unlikely person to play a coach of a head basketball team, Dean Cain (Lois & Clark). How this show ever get green-lit it is beyond me but it is a complete garbage of a show. The tryouts, the dancing tryouts? Uninspiring. Completely horrible. It as if this show has no one coordinating as they "actresses" (use very loosely) basically spin and hop like a chicken with it's head cut off that ran into an electrified fence! Then the worse of worse... line delivery... I am not even remotely an expert but I know bad when i hear it and it doesn't even measure up as "good" as bad. In the end, here is a show about cheer leading tryouts in the NBA, and a cheer squad, in a sunny location, with hot women in revealing outfits, throw in a relative hip hop beat, and it is the most boring thing on TV. Enough to stop me watching the moment that the cheerleader ran into the NBA player... (and the NBA player.. just some random black guy they probably grab from a local Olive Garden or Applebee's). And by the Power of my remote control, I have vanquished thee from my television.

I like the show.

Its fun, and many of the characters are fun to watch, especially Asha and the cute yet so evil Jelena.

A show does not need to have A-list actors and Emmy caliber dialog/scripts to still be entertaining. I watch shows to be entertained, not to critique the dialog.

This show reminds me somewhat of the Hellcats TV series a couple of years ago, but with less focus on the actual cheering and more on the behind the scenes drama. That show only lasted a year though as network TV has higher ratings requirements than Cable. Being a VH1 series I'm hopeful for a second season.

The show has a racially diverse cast. They are all beautiful. Especially Logan Browning, the sexy and opportunistic villain. I can not wait to see more of Katherine Bailess. She makes the show sexy and fun to watch. I love the dancing! Great show! My only wish is that there were full episodes of the show available to watch on a mobile platform so that I could enjoy the show at work. The music adds energy to the show. It's current and gives another level of dimension to the show. I can not wait to see more of the characters develop. It's refreshing to see actors who are physically beautiful and are actually able to "act". They may not be as intense as Julia Roberts or Al Pacino, but I don't think the show is made to be intense, but rather entertaining. It hits the mark!

Very exciting, fun, with a dramatic twist. The dancing is an added bonus. It isn't a black or white thing but a mixed cast very refreshing. The acting is very good. You will fall in love with the characters even the ones you don't like. The cast have strong chemistry.

You don't just get to see the lives of the players. You get to see inside the life of the dancers for a change. I love the fact that the dancers have real different personalities, not stereotypical. Some of the dancers are independent and don't care about meeting a baller for money and others are the complete opposite.

I would recommend this show to everyone.

Poor Cafesmitty from Maryland: hopefully I'm not a English native speaker so I didn't understand all of your bullshit complains about the great vh1' show. From abroad at least the show succeed to explain to the poor European that we are what is going on between US and the cheerleaders. Of course as the girl got most of the powerlessness shown on screen end that one of the most unassertive love story is between two (f... hot) gays, I assume that was too much for you Cafesmitty...And as someone already said :"A show does not need to have A-list actors and Emmy caliber dialog/scripts to still be entertaining. I watch shows to be entertained, not to critique the dialog." Of course it's not Broth&Sist but it's not trying to be and at least It's not Breaking Bad or The xth zombie'series.... primal pleasure , but it's entertaining.
