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.

No offense but I don't understand why this show actually has fans. The plot and acting are terrible, the characters are forgettable, it's overly girly, the theme song sounds like one of those kiddie songs that's a hit with first grade girls, and it crams morals and such down our throats. So yeah, I never liked this show, but admittedly, I didn't hate it at first. The reason I went from just not liking it to hating it is because most of this show's fans treat me like I'm some kind of crazy for not liking it. Meanwhile, I like Nicky Ricky Dicky & Dawn because it's the exact opposite. It teaches you that you can always work together with family, but in a way that's fun and entertaining. And I've never heard of any of its fans mistreating haters for their opinion. Anyway, I recommend this show to 7 year olds, but if you're looking for a show for families, I recommend Nicky Ricky Dicky & Dawn instead. :)

I really wanted to like this show - a girl forging her path against the cultural grain - except she isn't. It seems Nick does not have the courage to go against gender stereotypes. They take the risk of putting a girl into boys' sports, but then double down on the female stereotype and craft a character that is more of a caricature. They encase her in pink glitter and ridiculous, overdone hair; she is soft-spoken and sweet; she would make Beaver Cleaver a great little wife. Males have reason to be offended by this show as well. The boys are all portrayed as two dimensional idiots who couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag without Bella.

I heard about the release of this show, and although none of Nick's shows pass 3 stars in my opinion, I thought I'd give it a look at. And of course, this show was yet ANOTHER let down. I am basing this review on the first episode. To start, I would like to talk about the setting, which is of course, a football field. Now I noticed this in the trailers as well as the the show itself. The field is so small. It looks like 5 yards on the field is less than 5 feet. I guess that is why the actors run so slow. Another thing is the actors. Nick just recycled there old actors. Bella played a dumbbell cheerleader, and there are a few other repeats can be found in it. Nick doesn't ever get new actors, and the current ones are actors who nobody knows. I'd rather not go on because I don't want any spoilers to come out. I will write another review later when the show has been out for a while, but now, something needs to change.
