Bella and the Bulldogs

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.

You only live once. And in that one time you go around ... once . And you have to "grab all the gusto you can!" You have to make it count. Don't miss a thing. Have no regrets . Bella is a cheerleader and her Dream has always been to play football...and when the opportunity comes Up she grabs it. Way to go Bella . Be like Bella . She throws like a girl...because she is a girl...all girl and what a woman. DON'T MISS A SINGLE INSTALLMENT...OF BELLA AND THE BULLDOGS...Saturdays AT 9:00 P.M. ON NIK.

The new show already has 20 episodes in the can.That means finished and ready to view.What else would you want to know....the cast is sharp.The football knowledge is good. The High School Stuff is ACUTE AND ACCURATE . ENJOYMENT-MAXIMUM.Bella and The Bulldogs is The Best.

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

This show does a wonderful job of bringing women up, making them feel good, adequate, skilled, and broke gender stereotypes...while tearing down the another gender. This show seems obsessed with contrasting boys with girls, girls are strong, can do anything they set their minds to, and are sweet and thoughtful. The boys are dirty, savage, they bring down girls and treat them like garbage, they attack others psychologically, and NEED TO SMELL DIRTY SOCKS TO SURVIVE DEODORANT, yeah, great job, you broke stereotypes for one gender, while simultaneously bringing down another and frankly alienating me, a male, by perpetuating stereotypes and making males seem like barbarians in comparison to the noble, well groomed females.
