Fox Pushes New Comedy Series "Enlisted" to January

New Fox comedy "Enlisted", originally slated to debut in November, will be held back until January. "Enlisted", a slapstick single-camera comedy about three brothers and a group of misfits on a small Florida Army base, was scheduled to premiere Nov. 8 at 9:30 PM, following the time slot premiere of "Bones" at 8 PM and the season premiere of "Raising Hope" at 9 PM.
Now, Fox will air back-to-back originals of "Raising Hope" in the Friday 9 PM hour until "Enlisted" bows on Jan. 10. By then, 12 of the 22 commissioned episodes of "Raising Hope" will have aired, leaving 10 originals to lead into "Enlisted", which has a 13-episode order.
Fox reps point to the strong male skew of "Enlisted" as a reason for the scheduling move as it would allow more promotion during the network’s football and other sports coverage.
