FOX has struggled to find successful live-action comedy series for a while, and the network’s only established one, Animal Control, can hardly be considered a hit. This year, the network introduced a new sitcom. Will Going Dutch be cancelled or renewed for season two? Stay tuned.
A military comedy series, the Going Dutch TV show stars Denis Leary, Taylor Misiak, Danny Pudi, Laci Mosley, and Hal Cumpston, with Dempsey Bryk, Joe Morton, and Catherine Tate in recurring roles. The story follows arrogant, loudmouth U.S. Army Colonel Patrick Quinn (Leary) who, after an epically unfiltered rant, finds himself reassigned to the Netherlands. There, he is punished with a command position at the least strategically-significant army base in the world. It’s notable for its Michelin Star-commissary, top-notch bowling alley, lavender-infused laundry, and the best (and only) fromagerie in the U.S. Armed Forces. Surrounded by a diverse group of military misfits, the colonel tries to reinstate discipline and professionalism with the help of the base’s previous interim leader, who just happens to be his estranged daughter (Misiak). Other characters include XO Major Abraham Shah (Pudi), Sergeant Dana Conway (Mosely), Corporal Elias Papadakis (Cumpston), General Davidson (Morton), Katja Vanderhoff (Tate) and Private Anthony “BA” Chapman (Bryk).

What do you think? Do you like the Going Dutch TV series on FOX? Are you glad it has been renewed for a second season?
Love this show! We all need some laughter in our lives!
Show has been getting progressively worse. Thought this was supposed to be about trying to make misfits into soldiers but it instead is all about Dennis Learys character trying to win something every episode and his daughter trying to prove something. Could have been a great show but the writing and storylines is horrible!
Incredible hommage to police academy, airplane and even the stooges. Laughed all throughout the series. It is the only show I watch on cable. Old school laughs and I hope it definitely gets a second season. It deserves it and will develop a hardcore fan base if given a chance.
Had to quit this. Sorry Denis. Find a better vehicle.
Will describe the show in three words, Terrible, Terrible, and Terrible.
The first episode was OK, but the second and third were not enjoyable to me at all. Especially the third. I like the cast but the material is weak. I’ve yet to watch episodes 4 and 5. I hope they’re better.
I liked the first episode OK. But the second episode was so dead, I was barely paying it any attention. And the third episode is even worse. It’s a shame because the ads made it look kind of funny. The cast is trying their best but the material just doesn’t quite make it. I may still watch it, but I’m not that invested in it now.
Ratings — ouchy ouch ouch!
First new show to be canceled?
Just started 1/22/25, and its funny but I retired Army in supply and there is no way on any planet a Master Sergeant is a lowly supply Sgt. A supply Sgt would be an E5 or E6. This lady is an E8? At least be realistic since this is 2025. E8 would be the Battalion or Brigade NCOIC over all companies supply sergeants. Really guys? You didnt ask any retired Army???
His collection of chest ribbons is hilarious — painted cardboard instead of going to an Army/Navy store and buying real ribbons! Cheesy.
1st 2 episodes not that bad.
However, we should be watching season 3 of……..The Moodys!
Just okay. Maybe it’ll get better? But ratings are not good. This may not be around long enough to get better.
It was horrible. Not a comedy or even intelligent in any way.
Never even made it all the way through it. Cancel ASAP!
pretty poor thqat you make a satire and fun of the military. Being a retired Army I find it offensive!!
Absolutely awful! No laughs, ridiculous characters. Perhaps it looked good on paper?
