Hit the Floor

.....kissing (devouring each other) in each episode, this tripe wouldn't be worth the time I spent on it. The truth is, it's the only reason I watched it.

I'll thank them and the producers for giving us that much, at least. Ibsen, this ain't; but it doesn't try to be. It's "Hooters" in different costumes. Predictable, snoozy and boring. There have been myriad opportunities over the eight decades of television to make it anything but vapid and vacuous, but smart money is not on entertaining and educating; it's on stuff like this, more and more. I gave this one star each for Brent and Kristian, and one star for diversity of the females in the "cast". The other seven stars I'm giving to almost anything and everything else.

Remember Hellcats? Ever wish that it would cut the amount of cheese and angst in half and just have a relevant storyline? Hit The Floor is VH1's attempt at getting Hellcats right. A lot of the cheese is cut through. So far, we don't have any characters trying to get a grip on God vs Evolution.

The main protagonist is black, her mom is black, the evil bitch cheerleader (because there has to be one) is also black, as are the two guys involved in the burgeoning love triangle... but I don't think it falls into the "black show" category. There's enough white/ latino/ non-black people included in key roles to make it not a "black show". Or at least, it's a "black, but not exclusively black, show".

It's on VH1, not BET.

Also: it's not done by Tyler Perry; stars Dean Cain; has a good enough number of whodunnit subplots running through it to make it quasi-mysterious, like a ABC Family show dialed way down; good music and actual dancing by people who can dance. Not to say that they hired dancers and gave them an "acting for dummies" crash course - the acting mightn't be top notch from everyone all the time, but it's not jarring, and no way near as cringe-worthy as anything on CW. It's at a Friday Night Lights level.

All the characters, from the foolishly naive protagonist, to the fallen from grace single mom, to the HBIC, to the country girl hooker/stripper, to the clingy-ish poverty-riddled boyfriend - they're all tolerable. No one crosses over too far into "unlikeable" territory, and no one spends too much time there as to become hateful. Honestly, I'm most invested in the Country Stripper who's a self proclaimed unashamed gold-digger - she's just awesome.

It's not Breaking Bad or The Borgias, but it's not trying to be. Definitely in the guilty pleasure category, but it's entertaining. Bottom line - it's entertaining! In a new age soap opera, rnb/country/dubstep professional Tiny/Private Dancer kinda way. With good music featuring a diverse lot of people who are easy on the eyes.

And there's Dean Cain. No Van Der Beek, but, lol, Dean Cain people! How can you not give this a chance?

The only thing missing maybe is the actual basketball... We don't get a lot of that. I don't think they've even shown a game. Or five minutes of a game. But as I'm not into basketball, at all, that doesn't detract much.

This series is wonderful, because it is on television some conflicts that happen in real life. And besides representing homosexuality in a great way, with a very lovely couple and very successful on and off the show. We love Jude and Zero, they are perfect, and show the relationship of a simple, spontaneous and majestic why the world loves them. Addresses beyond homosexuality, we like drugs, addictions, friendship, companionship, greed, envy and murder. All this covered in a simple, easy to understand and that is not a very heavy thing. It also shows sex as a natural thing, as it has to be, not a thing erotica or in an aggressive manner which is a great thing for the series. It shows the life of people trying to be something else, follow your dreams, achieve their goals. Due to be a great series, Jude and Zero are a couple that appeals to everyone, HIT THE FLOOR series should be renewed for 4th season. And those who have not watched run and watch soon!

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.

This show should be cancelled...the worse actors/actress and story line. This show is just going nowhere...dragging out for no reason whatsoever. It's like i have absolutely no clue whats going on with all these characters. They seem to have some hidden secret that we the viewers have to spend all season trying to figure out. LHATL is a fake reality show but i tell you what...they do a pretty darn good job at pretending in front of the cameras than these set of people who are paid actors. Please VH1 find us another show in that time slot. Don't these writers watch Breaking Bad..Sons of Anarchy...walking dead etc? these shows get to the point quickly and move on to the next story line. No villain should be floating around untouched for so long...it's ridiculous!! Please VH1 cancel this show already..Please!!!!...Please!!!! Please !!!!.
