Show Summary

  • Ended
Hellcats is a show about sacrifice and competitive sports. When Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka) loses her scholarship to Lancer University in Memphis, Tennessee, her dreams of college and escaping her alcoholic mother (Gail O'Grady) for a better life as a lawyer could be over before they start. Luckily, Lancer's legendary competitive cheer squad, the Hellcats, needs a replacement for injured flyer Alice Verdura (Heather Hemmens). Marti wins the spot with her revamped teen gymnastics skills and her freestyle dance moves. Along with the spot comes a scholarship, the drama of competition, and required team living quarters with roommate and team captain Savannah Monroe (Ashley Tisdale). With her job at stake, Coach and former Hellcat Vanessa Lodge (Sharon Leal) pins her hopes to win nationals on Marti and the squad. Off the floor, the drama continues among Marti, her close friend Dan Patch (Matt Barr), her new Hellcat partner Lewis Flynn (Robbie Jones), and the rest of the squad.moreless

    Personally, when I first heard about this series, I thought it would be a waste of talent from the actors, but when I started watching it, I realized just how great it was. This marks Ashley's greatest performance since "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" and of course the "High School Musical" trilogy. I love her charqcter and the way she acted. The rest of the cast is also great, and I praise the work of Heather Hemmens, Matt Barr and Alyson Michalka.

    Too bad it got cancelled, but I still have hope that we fans manage to find a way to get it back. A 9 is in order for this one, which would be perfect if they had came back for another season (still, I hope they do, through an online petition).moreless

    I started watching this show with no particular expectations, aiming for a little fun. Initially the characters were good enough to keep me interestedm, the story was not so bad, about the competitive side of cheerleading, and the lovey-goey stuff was under control. But I couldn't go through the eight episode, the love stuff is now front and center and the rest is not good enough to compensate. Thumbs down on originality: a love triangle, what a bore!.

    Anyway, good stuff if you are a teenager (probably), but even when I was one I'd have stopped watching. I've too many show to keep track of, so...moreless

  • Marti Perkins loses her scholarship because of her mother's negligence and careless attitude. She starts looking for alternatives and found her prayers answers only if she can be a cheerleader. The Hellcats need a cheerleader and she needs a scholarship.moreless

    Marti Perkins loses her scholarship because of her mother's negligence and careless attitude. Her scholarship was her only ticket of the nightmare that is her life with her alcoholic mother. Marti starts looking for alternatives and found her prayers answers when she found a poster saying (cheerleader wanted). She practices a bit at home to kick the dust off her heels, since she was a gymnast until a couple of years ago. She goes to the tryouts and blows their minds away especially since they need something new to win the nationals. Marti, played by Alyson Michalka, nicely played her part. Ashley Tisdale, who is playing Savannah Monroe the cheerleader's captain, also was properly represents her character but that is nothing new. Marti and Savannah are exact opposites. One is intellectual and has very high hopes and cheerleading was only means to an end while Savannah believes that's cheerleaders are qualified to almost be soldiers and they are, definitely, athletes, to say the least. Marti has a buddy called Dan. She says they are only friends but you can feel the vibes coming from Dan's side saying that if it was up to him, it would be more. There is also Lewis, a cheerleader in the team, who is showing a flirtatious side towards Marti. CW did very well producing this show but CW always does, I just hope they stay on and don't just get cut without a fair chance at survival.moreless

  • I really like this show and can't understand why there are so many haters of it.

    I mean....granted, maybe a show about cheerleaders are not some ppl's cup of tea. Normally it isn't mine but Aly (Marti) is wicked to watch. She is very intelligent but has her flaws. In fact every character is a shade of gray on this show.

    But without a doubt my fav is Ashley Tisdale's Savannah. I'm a Christian and it's refreshing to see a Christian character that isn't treated like a freak. Yeah she is sheltered but she is breaking out on her own and trying to find what she really believes in. She is strong, fun and confident and a perfect opposite of Marti.

    The adults of the series are also complex enough to keep things shaken up. But let's not forget the actual cheerleading and the music of the show. All really great and I hope they keep the writing up.moreless
