“So what you get from HELLCATS is a wildly derivative wish-fulfillment view of college life made to appeal to junior-high girls, most of whom are too young to recognize how many shows and movies HELLCATS has appropriated.” USA TODAY
“Granted, you’ve probably seen this story before. Pre-law student loses scholarship. Pre-law student joins cheerleading squad. It’s been done a million times. But obviously the CW wanted to milk the popularity of shows like GLEE, which has singing and dancing. And is enormously popular. You can’t blame the CW (except maybe for leaving out the creativity, for having a terrible script and for the acting, which hurts to witness).” SFGATE
“So do some of the worst, a point underscored by HELLCATS, a new CW series on Wednesdays, about cheerleaders, that is absolutely awful. GLEE has proved that there is plenty of room for innovation and wit in the youthful-angst genre, but HELLCATS, inspired by the 2000 movie Bring It On, doesn’t even try.” THE NY TIMES
“… Pick any antonym for “glee” and this show defines it. It is mean-spirited, painfully dumb and badly acted. … HELLCATS tosses your brain up high and lets it splat on the gymnasium floor. It depicts a college experience that only a tween could envision, where everyone is deceitful, partially naked and late for class.” THE WASHINGTON POST
” HELLCATS is poorly paced and its attempts at comedy and drama stumble. … The network figures to get a jump on the fall premieres by airing this, the first new show of the season, two weeks before the Sept. 20 premiere week. Any audience it might gather will flip once the other networks return with new episodes. …” THE BOSTON HERALD 
HELLCATS premieres Wednesday September 8th on the CW at 9PM (“A” Channel in Canada)
