Reviews

ComedyFan2010 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.
Complain Shows As I'm writing this review, I'm still trying to figure out what the heck was even the purpose of wasting production and casting calls for this load of bs. The show is absolutely horrible, and I guarantee it won't last any longer than a season or two--if it's lucky. I feel Nickelodeon only allowed this show to air is to just to be a filler, because I see no other reason for this stereotypical feminist show to be aired to pollute and waste time of children.Bella's an idiot, the school's football team is filled with nothing but idiots to allow her on the team, and why does she have to be so unnecessarily girly as if she's lacking brain cells and culture diversity. I feel bad for the actors, they have to be reminded by people when they're in public that they were on such a atrocious shows. Where's the negative star rating for this voting scale?!
kmcroy-41713 I've watched Bella and the Bulldogs through almost its entire first season, and unlike most live-action Nickelodeon shows, it actually featured character development throughout the season. As for the characteristic atmosphere, this show is more like a "dramedy" with elements of a romantic comedy. As for the polarized reviews and specifically the negative ones, I want to say that this show stays real; there are people like this in middle schools around the country. There are no actual stereotypes except, once again, that the main characters are definitely middle-schoolers. The one with the messy and smelly locker (Sawyer), the vain captain, although formerly captain (Troy), and the insecure short kid (Newt). The girl chatter shouldn't be anything unrealistic, as what should we expect from happy girls? I was much like Newt in middle school except that I was an introvert. The trailer for the Season 1 finale shows sexism from the higher authorities; a plot element that addresses a real-life issue, but the trailer also shows the bond from the once sexist football players is strongest, and makes the finale feel like a finale. Finally, I want to address the uneducated bias from many of the other reviewers. Even if their "awesome" dance is from a perverse fantasy, I believe that it, once again, is common in middle schools, at least lower-income ones. I think someone in one of my middle school classes did it, and they don't even do it much. All shows, at least on Nickelodeon, have a "raw" pilot episode to establish an atmosphere, and some elements are not characteristic of all episodes. So, once again, this show is exceptional.
divyanka This perhaps started out as a means to encourage female empowerment, and turned out to be another stereotypical bs, unfortunately. I did have this feeling when the trailer came out. The main character got onto the football team and was the reason the team won - excellent, felt good. And then this same child puts LIPSTICK to school, and just had to show up in a "glittery, pink" shirt under her football uniform.Why? This show is basically inserting even more false stereotypes, such as that 'girls' love 'glitter' and 'pink' and cannot live without 'makeup'. What a shame. And when she gets her personal space in the locker room, it's completely pink, and full of flowers.The word 'girly' itself is a complete stereotype - and this show does a great job of enforcing this rubbish and inaccurate stereotype.Perhaps this kind of reinforcement is what forces young girls to become what these stereotypes present, and then, in a way, these false stereotypes become 'real'. One is not 'born' into liking flowers, pink, and makeup - girls are brainwashed to think they are 'supposed to'. A big shame.1/10, hands up.
