Bella and the Bulldogs

Reviews here are hilarious. People claiming there are stereotypes do so because they are blinded by their own stereotypes. A girl that likes football doesn't have to be tomboyish and manly. She can as well like pink and glitter. So this portrayal of Bella actually goes against all stereotypes. Same goes for the rest. Some boys have masculine features, others are more soft. Some thing they are supposed to be tougher and not like certain songs for example, but they learn that it doesn't matter. Most have no Texas accent, but still people who have one exist so we see one as well.

And what is the nonsense about guys being too skinny for football? Those are middle school players, not the professional NFL team. They may all become bigger or choose to become a scientist instead in a few years. Please, those are kids.

Well besides the nonsense that people are saying the show is pretty entertaining for the kids and offers a lot of characters with diverse personalities. I loved little Newt and Ace, they were hilarious. The rest of characters were also a good addition to the show and made us laugh. When it comes to acting one can see that some are already pretty good. somehow it was Brec Bassinger (Bella) whose acting I thought was the worst. And yet as I see she had more jobs after, maybe she improved.

The adults on the show, like on most kid's shows are side characters and for the most part not very smart. Which is needed for the shows where kids are in total charge of the situation. But they are still very fun and great. I love the coach for example. He is the best adult on the show being funny and supportive.

Extraordinary show! Impressive storyline, and great plot. I like how this TV program shows that girls can also be a part of a sports team.

I am extremely proud of who thought of this idea! There are lots of great young actors who I really lookup to. I truly look forward to more episodes of this amazing show! What I enjoy most would have to be the story, there aren't very many TV shows like this, these kinds of shows give a message to kids or in this situation girls to show that you can do something no matter what your gender is. Keep up the great work!!! I hope one day to become an actor too.

These reviews are ridiculous. This show is supposed to be for kids, they don't care about all that. Bella is a great role model for young girls. I watch with my little brothers and actually enjoy this. It's much better than the shows on Disney channel such as "Austin and Ally" and "K C undercover" which make me cringe. This show has heart and I recommend for families. I even watch it alone sometimes! I think that the characters Troy and Pepper are a bit bland and in need of development but other than that, great! I also think that it would be cool if we got to see more of the other characters families and lives away from their school. The jokes aren't as corny as most of the shows. I give it an 8 out of 10!

I absolutely love the message the show puts out. It shows that girls can and will do anything that boys can do, and it also shows that a girl can be "girly" in a sense, but can also love football and more masculine things. I also like how it shows that not all boys are tough and manly, like Newt.

One thing that I hugely hate is how many stereotypes are portrayed. It makes me mad how almost everyone is somehow against a girl being on a football team. ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD. Why are people mad at the coach that a girl is on the team? Its a middle school football team, not the NFL.

I feel like the show is trying to send out a good message, but fails in some ways. The way absolutely all of the female characters are all very girlish is just boring to me. Maybe Bella could not be the tomboyish one, but maybe one of her friends in the least? It sends out the message that all girls must love skirts and high heels, but in reality lots don't.

I also largely dislike the toxic masculinity portrayed. I get that while some boys can like more masculine things, not all do. I hate how the coach once said something like "Men hide their feelings deep down inside, and burn the map." Really? Then Bella replies back with something like "Well boys can do that, but not girls" Huh???? How come males have to hide their feelings, but girls just wear their hearts on their sleeve? It makes me pressed in a way that in the 3rd or 4th episode the whole school shames them for liking a "GiRlY" song. MEN CAN LIKE GIRLY SONGS??? UGHH.

I personally don't like the acting in general. Maybe im looking into it too deep for a childrens TV show, but all of the acting just seems so fake. It surprises me that the actor of Bella is the worst one of all, but everyone else is on about the same level of bad acting.

Overall, I expected more from a show with this storyline, so it leaves me dissapointed. I wanted more from a show like this, but it got cancelled after season 2 anyways.

"Bella and the Bulldogs" sets an unrealistic expectation for women to be as good as men.
