It's very much Sitcom Military (TM) but I enjoy it. It's got the standard funny soldier tropes (hyper competent XO, larcenous supply sergeant, complete screw up, JO with a heart of gold) and I think they do an entertaining job. It's on Fox, so catch it soon before they Firefly it.

Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl: Netflix - I start grinning from ear to ear when I hear that goofy theme music, and with this one I didn't stop laughing until it was over. All the W&G movies are joyful, but this one is the most flat-out bonkers one yet. You should watch W&G: The Wrong Trousers first, if you haven't seen it, but it's not 100% needed. Just pull up a seat and enjoy.

Well, yes, but it's usually part of the golf course, not a stand alone.
