Enlisted (2014)
Enjoyed watching this show
My father was in the Canadian Forces for over 25 years. The Royal Canadian Air Force or RCAF. We also spent 3 years in Duluth Minnesota and at times Dad was flown with his Colonel to some of the best golf courses in the United States because he was a Scratch Golfer. So yes I do know a little about military life. I am really amazed at how many of the reviewers thought this television show would depict Enlisted as a documentary of military life.
What these reviewers don't realize is Enlisted is a comedy; a tongue in cheek comedy. Comedies are not about fact.
Military shows like these are all about breaking the rules and engaging in activities that would never happen in the military. It is about someone punching a colonel and being sent home, wearing the uniforms incorrectly or not meeting the weight requirement.
I compared this show to the likes of Gomer Pyle, McHale's Navy, MASH, Stripes and Private Benjamin. Of which I enjoyed for their entertainment value and not for their authenticity. Most of us realized these shows and movies were not how military really was.
So for all you negative reviewers sit back and enjoy the show and remember that it is a comedy and not a documentary.
