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?

zach5593 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.

MovieAddict2016 It's never very promising when advertising campaigns for upcoming television shows have to constantly remind us of how unoriginal the program is by endlessly comparing it to other popular shows. "10 Items or Less" was promoted, in fact, with the following slogan: "If you thought working in an office was funny, wait until you see what it's like to work in a CONVENIENCE STORE!!" Oh, wow! Brilliant! Let's rip-off a television show which is already a remake of another international television show from Britain! Awesome! High fives TBS execs! You really nailed it on the head this time!I mean, after a string of flop original TV shows I imagine they must have all been sitting in their meeting with a collective frown trying to figure out how to (finally) achieve success. "How about we make a fake documentary show...and put it in an office?""Hasn't that already been done?" - "Oh, yeah, right." (Pause) - "I know! Let's put it in a CONVENIENCE store!" - "Yes! Brilliant idea!" - "High fives all around!"Not only are the characters flat, uninteresting and virtually _all_ rip-offs of characters from The Office (including Leslie, who is a painfully unfunny Steve Carrell/Andy Gervais wannabe) - their second episode DIRECTLY STEALS from an episode of the TV show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"! It's not just a casual similarity, either. The episode of Sunny featured the owners of a bar trying to exploit a water stain on the wall of their establishment which resembles Jesus. The new episode of "10 Items" (which premieres in 15 minutes) features the EXACT same plot line!I struggled through the first episode trying to understand just how on earth such a desperate show could ever be greenlit. This is the stuff of film parody. There are the stereotypes of dumb executives trying to constantly cash in on successful fads - but this is almost TOO outrageous to be real! It's a lame-brain copycat right down to its very directorial style and plot lines.The debut was one of the worst TV show debuts I've ever seen. Premieres are never fantastic in most cases but this was agonizing to sit through.This show will disappear very soon, and I hope everyone involved never has a chance to work again. Why? Well, because I'm a rather evil person who will no doubt find great delight in watching this pack of moronic actors have little-to-no success in the future.Good luck, guys!

becca1976 10 Items or Less is a wonderful and original, new improv comedy show. The cast all really plays off of each other very well, and the story lines are very creative. I think a series set in a grocery store will make for some very great comedic moments, especially with a cast as funny and talented as this one is. The star, John Lehr, is amazing as Leslie Pool. The writing and directing for this show is also very good. This show is definitely a winner, and one that everyone should see! I would highly recommend this show to anyone out there who loves a great comedy. You will be laughing until your sides hurt! I hope that TBS keeps this show around for a long, long, long time!
