6. Enlisted (FOX, 2014)

Three military brothers find themselves assigned to the same base in Florida. The two younger brothers, Derrick and Randy, are part of the rear detachment, meaning they stay behind to monitor the base while the rest of their unit are shipped out over seas. Pete, the oldest brother, is sent to join them after punching his superior officer in the face.

Enlisted is as much about family bonds as it is a military comedy. Pete is a serious soldier while his younger brothers and the rest of the unit he's sent to supervise definitely aren't. They have kind of a Stripes vibe to them. But Pete also needs to rebuild his relationship with his brothers as well as his damaged military career.

This is one of those shows that had the support of fans and critics but not the network. Had Enlisted been give a couple of additional seasons, it could have become something amazing.
