Enlisted

First, I've been in the Army for 18 years. This show truly is awesome. I can find the same personalities from the characters in multiple Soldiers I've met, supervised, and been over the years. The over zealous, always amped troop; the guy filled with potential but barely does the minimum; the hoah guy who is better than everyone else etc.

I read a lot of reviews that said what I was thinking initially until I found out that all of the errors in the first episode were intentional and that a contest had been advertised prior to the air date that invited people to find the ar 670-1 errors. Even Geoff Stults apologizing because he knew how wrong the violations were. He knew this because he and the other cast members went to a miniature basic training and hung out with Soldiers about to deploy who were going through an IES defeat lane.

Bottom line, I know the cast and writers are doing their best to represent the Army while at the same time producing a comedy. After all it's a COMEDY and a good one at that.

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.

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

I just watched the first two episodes of this show, not expecting much for a FOX show, expecting another needless thriller from the network, however, I was pleasantly surprised with this show, expecting another FOX flop, but when viewing this new sitcom, it just astounded me as to how amazingly witty and hilarious it was!Truly I hope that this show stays on the air for a long time, and more people view it! Really the only problems with this show is the pacing and some of the dialogue, but really what show doesn't have these problems? I suggest this to anyone whose looking for a good laugh, detailed characters, and a just all around enjoyable experience.So go ahead, give it a look see. It may just be the laugh you need to brighten up your day.

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.
