Enlisted Premieres on FOX on January 10, 2014



Three brothers, one Army, but absolutely no fighting!

ENLISTED is an irreverent but heartfelt single-camera comedy about three brothers on a small Florida Army base and the group of misfits who surround them.

Charming, funny and a natural-born leader, Sergeant PETE HILL (Geoff Stults, "Ben and Kate," "The Finder") was on a path for a huge military career until one mistake overseas got him booted stateside to Fort McGee, the base in Florida where his two younger brothers are stationed. Now, as head of their platoon, Pete must serve both as big brother and military boss. Corporal DERRICK HILL (Chris Lowell, " Private Practice," "Veronica Mars") is the middle brother - smart and sarcastic, he likes to stir up trouble and doesn't really care about being a soldier. Private RANDY HILL (Parker Young, "Suburgatory"), on the other hand, loves it. He's the hyper-enthusiastic, hyper-goofy - just hyper - youngest brother who wants to be the gung-ho "GI Joe" military ideal.

The Hill brothers serve on the Rear Detachment (Rear D) unit, comprised of the soldiers left behind when everyone else is deployed, because they're not quite good enough to be sent overseas, yet not bad enough to be kicked out of the Army. These are the men and women who mow lawns at the base, sort mail, wash tanks, find lost dogs and maybe engage in a war game or two. But the Rear D's main job is taking care of deployed soldiers' families. Whatever they need, the Rear D soldiers do. And, in the event that something happens to a soldier overseas, the Rear D troops break the news to the family and become a supportive shoulder to cry on. It's a job that shifts each moment from the thrilling to the mundane to the emotional and back again.

Fort McGee is run by Command Sergeant Major DONALD CODY (Emmy Award winner Keith David, "Cloud Atlas," "The Cape"), a firm but fair man who served with the brothers' late father. Major Cody promised to look out for them, so he brought all the brothers to the base to fulfill that promise. Cody has seen it all and lost a foot to prove it - which no one can forget, probably since he never misses an opportunity to bring it up. Confident, funny, tough and beautiful, Sergeant JILL PEREZ (Angelique Cabral, "Friends with Benefits") is the same rank as Pete and leads the other Rear D platoon on base.

A military-set family comedy, ENLISTED centers on three brothers who, when the best of the best are sent overseas, stay behind to try to keep the base in order. Between hijacking tanks, inventing new drinking games and accidentally blowing up a fuel truck, they will inadvertently discover the key to strengthening their long-lost childhood bonds.

Well this was ok comedy but brother being so stupid was rather annoying

1x01 Pilot

Pete losing his temper and punching his superior officer was bound to have consequences but being given command of the platoon that includes his two brothers was amusing

PS This reminds me of the film Stripes (1981) with Bill Murray

1x02 Randy Get Your Gun

Pete and Jill competing in various competitions for that ugly trophy was amusing and Randy being the only one not to pass his marksmanship test was surprising

1x03 Pete’s Airstream

Pete wanting to be left alone when Randy and the platoon wants to be best friends was amusing as he was determining to stop the party

1x04 Homecoming

Derrick inadvertently promising his girl who he wants to impress by arranging a visit home for her son's father was surprising but glad they pulled it off

Well he wasn't sure if he pulled it off or not but football game bet to score 1 goal was amusing

1x05 Rear D Day

Cody enlisting Jill's help to spy on his daughter was surprising and that sports court was impressive but it's a shame Pete destroyed it

TOP

1x06 Brothers and Sister

What a small world when Pete ran into Jeanie who he used to date but never formally broke up with her and why on earth would she want to get back together with him and decking him was amusing

1x07 Parade Duty

Who would of thought Pete's platoon would be over the moon being assigned clean-up duty rather than the parade duty but doing it in their clean up uniform was amusing and once again this reminded me of the film Stripes (1981) with Bill Murray
