Enlisted

I absolutely love this show and my husband is in Rear D in the Army for now. So many times watching this we got to laugh at all their job requirements that my husband wished were actually that fun. I've also seen soldiers reflecting each and every character in the show. Its a comedy and I treated it like any other comedy show just waiting for a chance to laugh. Fox canceled this show even though it received high ratings I say hey fox bring it back. These men need a good laugh at the end of a long day. A few of the episodes even had me in tears reminiscing emotions about deployment. Never was a fan of military shows like "Army wives" which I found offending and ridiculous but this never claimed accuracy as their forte but instead embraced the fact it was developed by civilians. They even ran a contest to ask viewers what they missed. Definitely worth the watch.

I just found this show on Hulu and I'm so disappointed there is only 1 season! I rarely laugh out loud at tv shows and often find these types of shows more annoying than funny but Enlisted has great one liners and I laughed throughout each episode. I wish there was more to watch.

Found the show to be family friendly, hilarious and as a family member of a soldier, refreshing to have a show that embraces my heart & funny bone. I wish there were more episodes. Made the whole family laugh even after moments of sadness & fear. Perfect cast. Thank you all for giving us smiles, tears & bellyaching laughs!!

I generally detest sit-coms, even supposedly brilliant ones. I don't even what possessed me to even watch the pilot ep but I'm glad I did as I watched the next three eps back-to-back, laughing out loud at the numerous quick-witted throw-away comments that never come across as contrived. There are large, obvious, in-your-face gags that I don't find particularly amusing but for the most part they work to progress the plot line. The best way I can describe it in terms of humor is to compare it to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, which it has nothing whatsoever to do with in terms of plot, but the rhythm is similar: If you like the glaring attempts at humor at the "special reports" then you will find that aspect in Enlisted. As for me, those skits run a bit too long so I welcome the brevity of that style in Enlisted, since I prefer the sarcastic one- liners that whiz by so fast you can easily miss them. The best part, aside from some great talent, is the lack of laugh track.

what can I say about a show so great? Plenty! Enlisted is a half hour of pure fun, from start to finish the audience is entertained and entertained I mean with great writing and superb acting. Enlisted was cancelled by Fox Television, why? Because of poor promotion and a bad night to air as typically Friday night is a bad night for a show to air. So why did Fox do this to such a great show? Your guess is as good as mine. One can only hope that this gem of a show will be put on DVD so that we all can watch the 13 episodes over and over, which I would do. Enlisted was a show that had heart and it seems Fox only likes to keep shows that are dramatic in nature, not thinking the fans would want a show that actually makes you laugh and cry. So if you have not had the pleasure of watching Enlisted you really should if Fox is nice enough to make a DVD so we can relive the memories. Thanks Fox Television for airing a great show even if it was just 13 episodes.
