In the end of November 2006 a partly scripted, partly improvised comedy series created by Nancy Hower, Robert Hickey and John Lehr entitled 10 items or less first took the air on TBS and ran for 3 seasons. Now thanks to Mill Creek Entertainment you can own all three seasons on DVD Set.
The series stars co-creator John Lehr as a failed New York City businessman Leslie Pool who moves back to his hometown of Dayton, Ohio to take over the family supermarket Greens and Grains, following the death of his father. Because all he ever wanted was his father's approval.
This is a unique show by the creators as an overall story arc is created, however, scripts are not shown to the actors. They are only provided with a loose outline of the plot. Dialogue is improvised by the actors. The series was filmed in a real grocery store called "Jon's" in Reseda, California and often with actual customers used as extras.
