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

For the most part, this is a light, bouncy service comedy in the spirit of The Phil Silvers Show, Gomer Pyle, USMC, and Stripes, It's a high jinks–heavy but psychology-driven show that wants to please a general audience while also seeming halfway credible to viewers who've served in the armed forces or know somebody who has.

Enlisted is not groundbreaking comedy, but it's dependable and heartfelt--and sometimes that's all you need in your foxhole.

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

It has to discharge a few clichés and run the brotherhood thing through a few more paces. But the pilot shows there’s worth and, yes, maybe even a pat on the head.

After the pilot, the next three episodes become a little desperate, to the point of straining character credibility in several cases. The best thing Enlisted has going for it is the chemistry between the actors playing the three brothers.

The whole show just feels cartoonish and, well, silly.

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?

First episode was a blast for me. I enjoyed every bit of it. Ok, there are some minor flaws, but ok it is first episode after all. Funny and stupid situations, lot of different characters is a good thing. I only hope that this show will improve in future episodes to come and become more funnier,... So, kick back and enjoy 20 or 25 minutes of this comedy (without commercials).

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-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)

The pilot episode of Enlisted featured some laughs and great casting. This being a late night comedy, I was expecting tasteless and dumb humour. The reality is that this show has a surprising amount of heart and is respectful to the military and its men. This meaning no homosexual army jokes -- thank god, since that dead horse has been beaten way too many times. Ultimately though, the pilot's reliance on its genre's tropes weighs it down. If Enlisted wants to be great, we have to see something new in the future. UPDATE: This show isn't doing anything new or interesting.... at all. After being optimistic about the coming episodes, I learned that this seems to be an unambitious, run-of-the-mill comedy. It's not an awful show, but it's definitely mediocre.

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" 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.
