Enlisted

This show has made my entire life. I was at Ft. Knox when it was cancelled. Sooooooooo.... disappointing. They took it off the air for more of the same boring other shows. I am hoping there is a comeback season. I would actually pay money to see that. I do not usually LOL but when I do, Enlisted is on. The show is not in sync with Army regs, but really? Who cares. The show is a great comedy. If one is too uptight to see that... then have a little laughter in life by watching enlisted. The actors in the show are so great. Good character actors and true to their roles. There are actual army time situations that are light hearted and even some that are heart felt.

Let me start off saying that I know next to nothing about the US military so Im purely looking at this from an enjoyment factor. i started this show having no idea really what it was about (or even that it was a comedy) but I found it really fun. it feels like it could verge on being stupid but I haven't found that yet. I love the relationship between the brothers, it's both sweet and cheeky and there's a lot of love there. I also like how they do cover real issues such as how soldiers can feel returning from a war zone. This issue was treated with respect which I approved of. Overall I love it and will definitely keep watching

Thank goodness I watched this. I needed a good giggle after previously watching one of the worst ever so called comedies I have ever seen....Spoils of Babylon. This new comedy 'Enlisted' was a laugh and nothing to be taken seriously. It should be taken in the same vein as 'Stripes' was back in it's day. I know a lot of serving men and women will love this here in Australia as they don't have their heads up their bums when it comes to a good 'p*ss-take' comedy, which this one seems to be heading that way. Hubby and I both thoroughly enjoyed it. We will definitely be watching more of this one for the sheer light hearted humour that is intended.

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.

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.
