10 Items or Less

Just finishing up this show, and I have to say I'm really impressed. I'm disappointed it ended after just 3 seasons, but it had to be expected I suppose. I think the final season is actually the best as it contains some of the series' best episodes ("Turkey Bowling," "Star Trok," and "The Milk Man" are all TV gold).

John Lehr is a comedic genius as store manager Leslie Pool and the supporting cast holds up really well. The situations they find themselves in are both wacky and hilarious.

I guess this type of humor isn't for everyone, but for me it made the show memorable.

I've watched all 4 episodes of "10 Items or Less" about 4 times each now. This is one of those rare shows that remains funny when watching it again and again. I had mentioned earlier that I was waiting for the show to come into it's own. Guess what? It's finding it's niche. It's sparking feedback and dialog from it's fans and when the show comes out on DVD (as it will undoubtedly will) I'm going to be at the local grocery store to buy it. :)

Okay, from the very first time I saw the previews, I knew it was a rip off of THE OFFICE and that Leslie was a poor substitute for Michael Scott. "10 Items or Less" is a poor shadow of THE OFFICE, but I have to admit that I was laughing from the first scene, but it was the awkwardness of Leslie in his new situation as an owner/manager of Greens & Grain. The thing that impressed me was that outside of Robert Clendim, the cast are virtually unknown, including creator/actor John Lehr. But the quirkiness of the characters works well and in my opinion, fun to watch.

Don't get me wrong, this show has to do A LOT to come close to being THE OFFICE, but it will be a fun show to watch as it comes into it's own.

There have been only two episodes shown on TBS, and my DVR is set to record all of the future episodes.

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.

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.

10 items or less may not seem like much at first, but it quickly sprawls into a hilarious comedy fun for the whole family. The plot is that the main character returns to his fathers store in ohio after he passes to continue running it. From there on you just see crazy antics of his staff and their weird lives. Shot in similar ways comparable to "Parks and Recreation" and "The Office", 10 items or less uses improv and setting to its full advantage. The only disadvantage is the small amount of episodes, with only 3 seasons and limited episodes per season, the show only lasts 21 episodes. However, it is certainly a wonderful show.
