Poor Cafesmitty from Maryland: hopefully I'm not a English native speaker so I didn't understand all of your bullshit complains about the great vh1' show. From abroad at least the show succeed to explain to the poor European that we are what is going on between US and the cheerleaders. Of course as the girl got most of the powerlessness shown on screen end that one of the most unassertive love story is between two (f... hot) gays, I assume that was too much for you Cafesmitty...And as someone already said :"A show does not need to have A-list actors and Emmy caliber dialog/scripts to still be entertaining. I watch shows to be entertained, not to critique the dialog." Of course it's not Broth&Sist but it's not trying to be and at least It's not Breaking Bad or The xth zombie'series.... primal pleasure , but it's entertaining.

"Hit the floor" follows young dancer Ahsha Hayes, as she joins the Devil Girls, the dance/cheer-leading squad of the LA Devils basketball team. The story is nothing special, quite over-the-top and predictable, involving Ahsha's mother, who is a former Devil Girl and doesn't want her daughter involved in the world of professional basketball, the team's coach, who used to date Ahsha's mother, the squad's director, the squad's bitchy captain, the star player who has a crush on Ahsha, Ahsha's boyfriend etc etc... They all get mixed-up in a world of fancy parties, LA villas and heavy eye makeup. Plotting, sexing and, thankfully, dancing! Which is the best thing in the show. The Devil Girl performances. Very entertaining, well-executed, video-clip style choreography.It's a pity that Ahsha, the main character, get's boring really quick. Jelena, the bitchy villain, though a caricature, is more fun to watch. The rest of the cast ranges from the guy who used to play TV's Clark Kent, to the guy who used to play Bob Pinciotti, to ridiculously muscular guys who look like living J.I. Joe Barbie dolls. Look out for Katherine Bailess though, who is shining through as the ex-stripper Kyle, adding a little bit of spice with her witty lines and her southern accent.

Remember Hellcats? Ever wish that it would cut the amount of cheese and angst in half and just have a relevant storyline? Hit The Floor is VH1's attempt at getting Hellcats right. A lot of the cheese is cut through. So far, we don't have any characters trying to get a grip on God vs Evolution.The main protagonist is black, her mom is black, the evil bitch cheerleader (because there has to be one) is also black, as are the two guys involved in the burgeoning love triangle... but I don't think it falls into the "black show" category. There's enough white/ latino/ non-black people included in key roles to make it not a "black show". Or at least, it's a "black, but not exclusively black, show". It's on VH1, not BET.Also: it's not done by Tyler Perry; stars Dean Cain; has a good enough number of whodunnit subplots running through it to make it quasi-mysterious, like a ABC Family show dialed way down; good music and actual dancing by people who can dance. Not to say that they hired dancers and gave them an "acting for dummies" crash course - the acting mightn't be top notch from everyone all the time, but it's not jarring, and no way near as cringe-worthy as anything on CW. It's at a Friday Night Lights level.All the characters, from the foolishly naive protagonist, to the fallen from grace single mom, to the HBIC, to the country girl hooker/stripper, to the clingy-ish poverty-riddled boyfriend - they're all tolerable. No one crosses over too far into "unlikeable" territory, and no one spends too much time there as to become hateful. Honestly, I'm most invested in the Country Stripper who's a self proclaimed unashamed gold-digger - she's just awesome. It's not Breaking Bad or The Borgias, but it's not trying to be. Definitely in the guilty pleasure category, but it's entertaining. Bottom line - it's entertaining! In a new age soap opera, rnb/country/dubstep professional Tiny/Private Dancer kinda way. With good music featuring a diverse lot of people who are easy on the eyes.And there's Dean Cain. No Van Der Beek, but, lol, Dean Cain people! How can you not give this a chance? The only thing missing maybe is the actual basketball... We don't get a lot of that. I don't think they've even shown a game. Or five minutes of a game. But as I'm not into basketball, at all, that doesn't detract much.

So I watch another program on VH1 and I saw the adverts for this show. Being a straight guy, I figure the show would be tailored made for me, hot chicks wearing skimpy outfits dancing to a good grove. I couldn't be more wrong. The chicks are hot, but the writing, acting. music and directing is so atrocious that it inspired me to read, go hiking, count the imperfections in my ceiling.. anything but watch this show. The characters are cookie cutter characters... the new and kind girl who wants to be friends with everyone. The head evil cheerleader who is extremely mean spirited. Throw in the love interest, the basketball player who LITERALLY gets run into by accident by the new girl. And throw in the most unlikely person to play a coach of a head basketball team, Dean Cain (Lois & Clark). How this show ever get green-lit it is beyond me but it is a complete garbage of a show. The tryouts, the dancing tryouts? Uninspiring. Completely horrible. It as if this show has no one coordinating as they "actresses" (use very loosely) basically spin and hop like a chicken with it's head cut off that ran into an electrified fence! Then the worse of worse... line delivery... I am not even remotely an expert but I know bad when i hear it and it doesn't even measure up as "good" as bad. In the end, here is a show about cheer leading tryouts in the NBA, and a cheer squad, in a sunny location, with hot women in revealing outfits, throw in a relative hip hop beat, and it is the most boring thing on TV. Enough to stop me watching the moment that the cheerleader ran into the NBA player... (and the NBA player.. just some random black guy they probably grab from a local Olive Garden or Applebee's). And by the Power of my remote control, I have vanquished thee from my television.
