Hellcats - The TV Series

I just recently started watching Hellcats on CWTV and I instantly became a fan.

Hellcats is the story of college students trying to make it to the cheering competitions State Finals.  The tv series is an American cheerleading comedy-drama series for The CW starring Alyson Michalka, Ashley Tisdale, Robbie Jones and Mall Barr.  The series is based on the book Cheer:  Inside the Secret World of College Cheerleaders by journalist Kate Torgovnick.

This blog will feature episode guides, character profiles and celebrity updates on the stars of the show.

I hope you enjoy this blog as much as how I enjoy writing this.
