There are no words to describe the loss of Enlisted. But there are words to describe my anger at how this show never got a chance.
In a nutshell, Enlisted followed Pete Hill on his journey from super soldier in Afghanistan to the leader of a Rear Detachment platoon at an Army base in Florida. He went from dodging bullets to dodging his younger brothers, and guess what? It was hilarious. For starters, Geoff Stults, Chris Lowell, and Parker Young played the three Hill brothers and gave us one of the most believable sibling dynamics on TV. Their chemistry and...

The fictional story told in Fox's "Enlisted" is about Sgt. Pete Hill, a super-soldier who's punished for striking a superior officer by being reassigned to a rear detachment unit, forced to do unglamorous work in a remote location far from the action that he cares about. But he's told repeatedly that Rear D is a necessary part of the Army and slowly learns to love his new role — or, at least, to love the company he's now in, which includes his msifit younger brothers Derrick and Randy. The real-life story of "Enlisted, meanwhile, involves the sort of impossible mission Pete Hill might enjoy being a part of: a small but admirable force sent into hostile territory, and that does just well enough that command gives it additional support briefly, then withdraws it and leaves the group all alone until the battle seems unwinnable. Fox scheduled this show on Fridays at...

In last week's episode of the Friday Fox comedy "Enlisted," Army Sgt. Pete Hill (Geoff Stults) moved into an Airstream trailer off-base to gain respite from both his younger brothers -- all three are stationed at the same Florida base -- and the rest of the platoon.
To his surprise, shortly after settling in, Pete found youngest brother Randy (Parker Young) using his bathroom and wandering naked around the trailer.
Apparently, something similar happened in real life.
"The long and the short of it is," says Stults during filming at the show's sets on the 20th Century Fox lot in Los Angeles, "one day, whatever time it was, it was late, I heard the washer go off. I was in bed, walked downstairs, put a load from the washer into the dryer so I could go back to sleep, or to finally go to bed. I think I was waiting for it,...

In my life, the only military show I’ve ever been a dedicated fan of was HBO’s miniseries Generation Kill, which I started watching simply for the Alexander Skarsgard of it all. In general, I’m not one for shows about men in the armed forces … until now.
After weeks of laughing at the promos for Enlisted, it’s safe to say that I’ve found the second military show I can enjoy. Enlisted follows Sgt. Pete Hill on his journey from super soldier to ex-super soldier after he punches a Colonel and is sent to Fort McGee, Florida...

There are a lot of ways to approach reviewing television shows, but the best ways are always the ones that come most easily to mind. In reality, criticism is about articulating a personal response while employing some modicum of detached perspective.
The ratio between the two inevitably varies between show to show and critic to critic, which is why having a variety of opinion about a variety of programs is a feature, not a bug, of this particular industry. All of which is to say it's all fine and well for the Boob Tube Dude to say that "Enlisted," premiering at 9:30 p.m. Et Friday (Jan. 10) on Fox, is the best comedy of the 2013-14 season, but it's far more important for me to say why I feel that's true. Simply stating something is the job of sycophants or haters. Explaining that statement is the important aspect.

Confession: We'd gladly drop and give you twenty thousand pushups if it meant that we'd get to keep watching Enlisted, Fox's hilarious new comedy, which debuts tonight. When super-soldier Pete Hill, played by Ben and Kate's Geoff Stults, is demoted from front-of-the-line duty to Rear Detachment (aka Rear D) he's forced to reconnect with his two screw-up wannabe-soldier brothers: Derrick, played by Veronica Mars' Chris Lowell, and Randy, played by Suburgatory's Parker Young. Enlisted follows the quirky, and at times chaotic, lives of these three brothers who are trying to work together, live together and hopefully rekindle their childhood bond without killing each other. Listen up, soldiers...

Geoff Stults is sitting at the bar in the memorabilia-stuffed set for the Claymore (named after either a Scottish two-handled long sword or an anti-personnel mine), a watering hole serving the soldiers of Florida Army base Fort McGee in the Fox comedy "Enlisted," premiering Friday, Jan. 10.
He plays Staff Sgt. Pete Hill, a soldier who was on the fast track until a mistake overseas got him sent stateside to Fort McGee, where his younger brothers, Derrick (Chris Lowell) and Randy (Parker Young), are also stationed.
The Hill brothers serve in the Rear Detachment (Rear D) unit, composed of soldiers left behind when others deployed. They mow lawns, sort mail, maintain equipment and find lost dogs. But their main job is to look after the families of deployed troops, which can be emotionally taxing.
So Rear D sometimes cuts the tension with some hijinks. On this particular day, Randy is directing...

"Can I please go back to war?" asks the hero of Enlisted. His name is Pete Hill (Geoff Stults). He's a hot-tempered staff sergeant who served in the Army in Afghanistan, got kicked out for punching an officer, and now finds himself reassigned Stateside alongside his two brothers (Chris Lowell and Parker Young) to "Rear D," a supply and maintenance division. That's probably a bit more jargon than you're used to seeing in a review of a new Fox sitcom, but the specificity is part of what makes Enlisted so enjoyable. The show's creator, Kevin Biegel, comes from a military family, and a lot of the humor has a comfortably "inside" tone — like the tone you see in showbiz comedies by people who've worked in showbiz, or in school stories created by people who've worked as teachers or administrators. There are hints that M*A*S*H-like darker shadings might be unveiled later,...

Boy enrolls in the army. Boy goes overseas to fight the bad guys in Afghanistan. Boy returns home safely to his two younger brothers. Sounds like a happy ending, right? Not quite.
On the new military comedy Enlisted, premiering Friday at 9:30/8:30c on Fox, Geoff Stults plays Staff Sergeant Pete Hill, an ambitious super soldier who is sent back home to Fort McGee, Fla., and reassigned to the far less impressive Rear Detachment unit after his temper gets the best of him in the war zone.
"He's definitely struggling with it," Stults tells TVGuide.com. "He's going to try to make the best of it, but he feels bad that he's not overseas with his brothers, his other brothers, fighting. He feels like that's the only way that he can give back to his country. He has to learn to find different ways to feel like...

Enlisted is something of a throwback comedy that would have fit rather well in a lineup from the mid-80s. That shouldn’t be surprising considering recent trends, but this one also tries to blend elements of more recent, irreverent comedies, and while it has some solid moments, the combination makes it hard to predict how well it will be received.
Geoff Stults, fresh out of two sit-coms that should have been around longer, plays Pete Hill, a soldier who had a stellar career ahead of him, until he punched a superior. He now finds himself in Florida leading a Rear Detachment unit. Rear D is, according to the show, where those who can’t cut it as real soldiers end up, and where Pete’s two brothers spend their time in the military. Of course, Enlisted isn’t going to leave it at that, and will ultimately play up the importance of Rear D,...

It wasn't very hard for the stars of Fox's new comedy "Enlisted" to inhabit their roles. Geoff Stults, Chris Lowell and Parker Young play three brothers working on an Army base in Florida, and they became so close during filming that their brotherly spats almost turned deadly.
"I think we get along exactly the way that brothers get along, which is to say we love each other so deeply and we are so supportive and so there for each other, and simultaneously we fight like siblings," Lowell tells Zap2it during a visit to the show's Los Angeles set.
Young, who plays the youngest sibling (but is actually the eldest in real life) confirms it: "They're like my brothers," he says. "These guys treat me like I'm their little brother for sure, but I love it."

Geoff Stults leads a rag-tag collection of recruits on Fox's new Friday night comedy, "Enlisted."
"I had a little disagreement with my commanding officer and, as punishment, I got sent back stateside and put in charge of, I guess, technically, the worst soldiers that the army has," Geoff explained to Billy Bush and Kit Hoover on Monday's Access Hollywood Live, of his role as Ssg Pete Hill in the new show.

The press tour panel for Fox's "Enlisted" seemed to, consciously or unconsciously, reflect the intended tone of the show: silly, then serious. Stars Geoff Stults (Pete Hill), Chris Lowell (Derrick Hill) and Parker Young (Randy Hill) traded barbs at such rapid speed it was hard to make out what was being said, much less who said what. Given that they're playing brothers, it seemed that connection carried over to real life. It came as no surprise, then, that co-creator Kevin Biegel was drawing on real life to create the show. "[This is] pretty autobiographical. I've got two younger brothers, and...
