nikoferrantello 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.

ras102 For a TBS original series, I'd say its brilliant. Otherwise, I'd say its pretty damn good. The stories are well-thought out and executed, and already, having seen just a handful of episodes, I see some strong continuity.I caught the first episode in its first run and have seen subsequent episodes "on demand", which is a powerful tool for a late-night TBS series. One complaint I have is that I always wanna slap or yell at Leslie (John Lehr), but at the same time it adds to the draw of the show. As for the characters, I find them interesting and funny in their own ways. All in all, well-worth seeing.

justinrtaylor Rather than waste your time and mine pointing out which similarities this show has with everything else that came before it, I'm going to tell you to watch it.I'm also gonna say, if you like The Office (british or American), you may or may not like this show. To draw your opinions from whether or not a show is similar to another, and to formulate your entire critique based on that rationale, is lazy and paltry.Yes, the main character has likenesses to the boss Steve Carell plays on The Office, being that they're both trying to be funny, likable bosses and they're both men. Yes, there are other characters on the show too, just like in The Office. On both shows, it's a mix of men and women... a few different races, as well. Rest assured, this show is exactly like The Office because they both take place in a grocery store. Wait, no they don't.Okay, if you're gonna split hairs every time you sit down to watch TV, you might as well hide the remote for good. This show is nothing like the Office, other than they both have silly bosses who are trying to be liked by their employees.Something everyone can relate to... so i'm sure we can deal with more than one show depicting someone in that role.This show is something you need to Tivo to watch multiple times, as there are things that get funnier the second time around. The characters blend well together and the central driving story of 'screw-up son inherits dead father's grocery store and is being outdone by huge conglomerate' often leads to riotous outcomes.I'm sure if this show were on one of the more major networks, it'd be taken more seriously.God forbid we like something on TBS, right?

joshiebear I heard of this show on IMDb of all places, and it was on after my Monday night block of heroes and studio 60, so I figured I'd check it out and see how it was. Within 5 minutes, I desperately wanted to change the channel. This is a terrible show. As pointed out by another user perfectly, this show is a cheap copy of the office with a few tweaks and a whole truckload of short-comings. The boss is well-meaning, but completely uncool. His employees only tolerate him because they work for him. Sounds familiar. Oh yeah. Yup, this is Michael from the office, only he's not funny in this show. And the characters aren't something I would care about at all. It's completely unoriginal and very poorly executed. Pass with a vengeance.
