HOLLYWOOD — Viewers watching the first episode of "Enlisted" were blown away Friday evening with one of the most realistic portrayals of Army life ever to appear on television, sources confirmed today.

"We have family in the military," said producer and writer Kevin Biegel. "One of our writers was a lieutenant in the Navy too, so we’re pretty positive that he knows exactly what being in the military is like."

Not to be swayed by the shockingly unfunny advertisements for the show interrupting what would otherwise be an enjoyable time watching Olympic curling, some intrepid couch potatoes chose to watch the first episode, only to be pleasantly surprised to find that "Enlisted" packs more punch than a Sebastian Junger documentary.

"'Enlisted' is a real breakthrough in civil-military relations," said Capt. Joe Heller. "I was so pumped up that I put my fist through the television set in celebration."
