10 Items or Less

Good show. really good humor. To all of the people who are saying knock off of the office.. same show blah blah blah.. well.. i would just like to say how many more mystery/law/shows set in a hospital are they going to make? Seriously you never hear anyone talking about how annoying all those Law and Orders/ CSI.. they are all the same show but you never hear anyone downing those.There are obviously going to be similarities when watching TV shows so why not watch it for what it is instead of picking out the things that its not? Good stuff in this show. I think Leslie is so funny. He basically carries the show in himself. Even though this show probably wont come back i enjoyed it while it lasted and think that it had a lot of potential.

Leslie Pool (John Lehr) is the inept owner-manager of independent G&G grocery store. It's ragtag group of wacky workers competing always with the corporate Super Value Mart across the street.

Other stand outs include Bob Clendenin and Jennifer Elise Cox. Jennifer plays the evil manager of the chain grocery store next door. Sadly she was just a part time player and never made it to the 3rd seasons. The characters are over the top. They bicker. They fight. At the end of the day, they come together as a team. The show is somewhat improvised. The jokes don't come as fast and tight. The pacing is different than most sitcoms. The jokes don't always work but it's still worth a watch.

This show has so many things we have all been waiting so long for, but most of all, it has gut busting comedy. I found myself constantly cracking up each time i watch this. Its like I have already connected with the characters, which are all funny.

The episodes so far have been hilarious, smart, and well acted. After watching 10 minutes of this you will find yourself wanting to work at a supermarket. You cant like this show, you love it. I pretty much have no idea what the characters names are but I know their personalities. Probably more than I should. do yourself a favor and glue yourself to your TV and tivo watching 10 items or less.

That's the only way i can sum it up.

It has moments that are extremely funny, then it just dies back down to being normal again in a split second. It seems to have trouble keeping audiences laughing, so basically it doesn't keep rolling out the laughs or follow any sort of pattern.

This show reminds me A lot of "arrested development", pretty much because of how I just described it above. It's quirky and kind of strange comedy, then its extremely funny and original, but then it's back to normal, then it has failed attempts at jokes......it's kind of weird.

The show seems like a mixture between "The Office" and "Arrested Development".

But it seems to lack a REAL connection with the characters or storyline. It appears that the show doesn't have a real Bonding "feel" or whatever you want to call it, which can be a HUGE problem.

The acting is good enough in most parts, then it suddenly gets really bad out of nowhere depending on who is on camera.

If you've ever seen Arrested Development or The Office, this show seems right at home at first, but suddenly lacks real character development and something is off about it.....it's close though!

The show is set in a locally owned grocery store. The founder's son has inherited the store after the death of his father. The characters primarily consist of the owner/son and the quirky employees. A very formulaic premise. I don't normally think of TBS for original comedy. Thus, I was not expecting much. Boy, was I surprised. It was very funny.

The generally unknown cast is appreciated as it is a nice contrast to the recycled comedy actors on the Big 4 networks. The first episode did a nice job of introducing the characters with humor and even had a little dramatic tension. If subsequent episodes are this smart, I am definitely hooked. 9 out of 10.
