Hellcats!

Looking for a show to watch this year?  With school just starting and teachers assigning homework at full force, who has time for much TV?  But a new hit series you shouldn’t miss is “Hellcats,” a show that the Hollywood Reporter says, “makes a graceful back flip, with multilayered characters that defy expectations,” and one that CW23 calls a “TV pep rally.”  It’s so incredible and fun, you’ll be craving the next episode to arrive!

After Marti Perkins—Aly Michalka from Disney Channel’s “Phil of the Future”—loses her pre-law scholarship at Memphis’ Lancer University, one of the only ways she can get it back is by doing something akin to joining the dark side: trying out for the Hellcats, ‘the peppiest, most annoying cheerleading squad’ (according to Marti), and the one she and her best friend, Dan Patch, are always making fun.

In the end, Marti makes it past the tryouts, replacing an injured, narcissistic, obnoxious cheerleader who doesn’t like the idea of someone taking her place.  But now, Marti’s only obstacle is trying to get along with the Hellcats while living with them, dining with them, and pretending she actually likes them.  She has to do all of this while trying to stay out of the wounded cheerleader’s way, and attempting to keep the whole thing a secret from her mom, who caused chaos at her last gymnastic competition.

Every Wednesday, tune in to the CW at 9 p.m. to watch the new show “Hellcats,” with actors like Aly Michalka, Ashley Tisdale from “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody,” Sharon Leal from “Why Did I Get Married Too,” and Matt Barr from “The House Bunny.”  “Hellcats” is filled with more drama as the season progresses, so you don’t want to miss it!
