Description: TBS is heading for the express checkout lane with 10 ITEMS OR LESS, a new late-night comedy series that combines scripted and improvisational elements. The series, co-created by acclaimed comedy improv actor John Lehr (Memron), goes behind the scenes at a family-owned grocery store being run by a host of interesting characters. It comes to TBS from Sony Pictures Television, with Lehr, Robert Hickey and Nancy Hower serving as executive producers.

Ep. 1: �The New Boss� Written by Robert Hickey & Nancy Hower & John Lehr; Directed by Nancy Hower 10 ITEMS OR LESS opens with Leslie Pool (John Lehr � Memron) returning to his native Ohio to run the Greens & Grains grocery store he has just inherited from his father. He arrives to find a rather dysfunctional staff that includes Carl (Robert Clendenin � That �70s Show), the sweet, doofus stockboy who has fathered a baby with Yolanda (Roberta Valderrama � ER), the straight-talking dominant force in the produce department; Ingrid (Kirsten Gronfield � Steve Saves L.A.), the quirky, soft-spoken customer service representative who has a thing for Todd (Chris Payne Gilbert � The Broken Hearts Club), the sexy butcher who hopes to one day to be a stock car driver; and the check-out team of Buck (Greg Davis Jr. � The King of California), the bagger who is looking towards the future by attending night school, and Richard (Christopher Liam Moore � Judging Amy), the dignified cashier who dreams of becoming a professional ice dancer. Leslie also faces off against his arch nemesis, Amy (Jennifer Elise Cox � Lovespring International), who manages the Super Value Mart down the street. Amy is determined to bring the Greens & Grains to its knees so that Value Mart can buy the property and turn it into a parking lot.
