HELLCATS (1.1 - A World Full of Strangers)

No. Just no to this. When Ashley Tisdale of High School Musical is the best thing about your show, you know you’ve got problems (but she is actually pretty good). Patched together, Frankenstein-style, a law student (Alyson Machalka) on a scholarship (Legally Blonde, check) makes fun of the cheerleading team (Bring It On, check). Not long after that, irony smacks her in the face and she loses her scholarship. As luck would have it, she finds out that you can get a full scholarship ride in cheerleading (insert irony title card here). It’s a good thing she was a gymnast for most of her life until high school (see Bring It On again) and does her cheerleader homework by watching….wait for it, Bring It On. This single viewing gives our peppy heroine enough cache to kill it in her audition. 

Now, one time when I was sick I watched Bring It On in bed eight times in a row - don’t judge - but that doesn’t mean I was able to do a front handspring step out, round-off backhandspring step-out, round-off back handspring, full-twisting layout once I got up. Nope.
