All in all, the terrific Enlisted is one of the most pleasing network comedies to come along in quite some time. Read full review

It gets a lot of laughs out of life in the military while still demonstrating respect for the military and its soldiers, and genuine affection for its characters. Read full review

Earnestness is often the enemy of sitcom writers. Snark and innuendo, which can indeed be loads of fun, reign in many half-hour shows, with NBC’s “Parks and Recreation” being a notable exception. So Fox is taking a gamble, a worthy one, with its new comedy Enlisted. Read full review

If it's time for a new military comedy, this is a good one. It marches to the beat of its own dumb drum. Read full review

This is a cartoonish Army, under orders to take pratfalls whenever possible. You'll laugh. Or you won't. Read full review

Enlisted may feel curiously dated and dangerously slight, but it's not offensive (a low bar many Fox comedies fail to reach) and it's not cynical. If nothing else, this is clearly a show with heart. Now if only it would show some sign of brains. Read full review

The whole show just feels cartoonish and, well, silly. Read full review

The first episode was very much just a pilot. I wanted to love it, but found it passably entertaining.

But the second episode hit the ground with a stride you almost never see, if ever, from a comedy. The chemistry of the cast was just instantly apparent and kind of magical. And 6 episodes in, I have seen no evidence of that going anywhere at all.

This show is honest, brilliantly quippy, and wears a big heart on its sleeve. What can't you love about that?… Expand

I was a bit skeptical about this show when I saw the commercials. But, I swear to God this a funny show.

A military comedy with big laughs, silliness, and a big heart. The brothers are all fantastically cast and such good chemistry together. You instantly feel you know these characters. Plus this show is really about something important.

Enlisted has displayed that the show isn't a military comedy but a comedy exploring fraternal roles through military associations. It's funny, it has heart, and it's easy to watch.

The next Party Down.

Though I can see how Enlisted will struggle in gaining viewers, being late in the time slot, it has the makings of all small but great cults; and the hilarity just keeps getting better.

I guess if I HAD to watch a network comedy about soldiers, I wouldn't complete mind watching this one. FOX's Enlisted is a light comedy about soldiers and brothers and other sentimental/relatable stuff. It has a huge heart, but that's about it. There are some laughs, but the hit-to-missI guess if I HAD to watch a network comedy about soldiers, I wouldn't complete mind watching this one. FOX's Enlisted is a light comedy about soldiers and brothers and other sentimental/relatable stuff. It has a huge heart, but that's about it. There are some laughs, but the hit-to-miss ratio is a little uncomfortable (soldiers train while chanting Bradley Cooper's name - what were they thinking?). The only truly entertaining character in the show is Parker Young's feebleminded but loyal younger brother. However, what the show suffers from the most is a lack of motivation. There is no straightforward storyline. No, "what will happen next?" The first episode feels like a tank stuck in a rut. The engines are running and the wheels are turning, but the show simply isn't going anywhere. If the show says anything, it's that FOX is willing to turn around its comedic image from abrasive (Family Guy) and awkward (New Girl) to something more heartfelt and compassionate.

FINAL SCORE: 55 (fine ----------o---------- a neat watch)… Expand

Never watched it but saw commercials and (as a military man myself) was a bit offended. I saw ill attempts at comedy, for example they are trying to march and are stepping with the incorrect foot on the incorrect tempo count and the instructor says "make an L with your hand if it helps" andNever watched it but saw commercials and (as a military man myself) was a bit offended. I saw ill attempts at comedy, for example they are trying to march and are stepping with the incorrect foot on the incorrect tempo count and the instructor says "make an L with your hand if it helps" and those marching repeat him word-for-word. To me, that is making people in the Army look stupid and unable to follow simple directions.… Expand
