Bella and the Bulldogs

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

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.

I watch this program because I think Brec Bassinger is one of the most adorable young actresses to come along lately. She was perfectly cast as Bella. She got the role because she could throw a football like a boy. She's the cutest tomboy I've ever seen. She also knows more about sports than most guys. Check it out on You-Tube. I love her voice.

Another crappy Nickelodeon sitcom. The show revolves around a girl named Bella who was once a cheerleader but somehow managed to get starting quarterback on the football team because she randomly threw a football like 30 feet across the field.

The characters are all horrible stereotypes. Bella is an annoying perky spoiled white girl. Yawn.....She is no different then the other female Nickelodeon leads like Tori Vega, Carly Shay, Taylor Hathaway. She's a perfect Mary-Sue who gets everything she wants. Newt is the nerdy corny white kid who gets picked on. Troy is pompous hotheaded arrogant douche swag black kid who think's he's all that. Sawyer is juts a tall redneck dude with a horrible country accent, Sophie is the sassy tough Latina chick, Pepper is annoying little prissy Asian who was adopted by white parents. What is with that Ace Mcfumbles kid and his black friend sidekick. They're pointless, unfunny and add nothing to the show.

A girl allowed in the boys locker room is okay??? They would never due a boy in the girls locker room. Both sides are inappropriate.

Troy and Sawyer are the skinniest football players I've ever seen. Also, how did a midget twerp like Newt who looks like a 7 year old end up on the football None of these guys size would be on the professional football team. The stereotypes are horrible. Why does Bella and her friends have to be such a giggly ditsy girly girls. Her football is covered in colorful rhinestones, her locker area is all pink, fluffy and covered with flowers, she and her friends can't live without make-up, Bella's perfectly curled hair. All the guys on the football team are sexist jerks. The attempts at catchphrases are pathetic! Bella's "Sha-BooYA" and Newt's "Who said that" are both equally lame, unfunny, and corny. The opening theme song is atrocious. Way not to be subtle with using songs like Taylor Swifts "Shake it Off" and Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger". We get it GIRL POWAH!

Stupid concept. Stupid show. Enough of this politically correct agenda that is shoving it's way into film and now television. A female linebacker in the NFL? Give me a break! I'm sick of this forced girl power garbage. I have the same problem with the new show on Fox called Pitch which has a similar premise except with baseball.

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.
