Will Enlisted Return?

The news is encouraging that Yahoo may pick of Fox's de-listed military comedy EnlistedDeadline reported the following:

Having just revived NBC’s Community, Yahoo might be looking to do the same with another recently cancelled cult broadcast comedy series, Fox‘s Enlisted. I hear talks are under way between the online giant and Enlisted producer 20th Century Fox TV for a second season of the military series, created by Kevin Biegel, on Yahoo’s streaming service Yahoo Screen. Sources cautioned that the conversations are preliminary and it’s unclear whether they would result in a deal.

This is very encouraging.  Just as Friday Night Lights and Damages were saved by Direct TV, and The Killing was given a fourth season on Netflix, this late save of the show is very welcome.  All three of the shows I mentioned above were quality programs deserving a new home if the old home did not appreciate what they contributed to the television landscape.  I for one have my fingers crossed.
