TBS' delightful comedy "10 Items or Less" will have its third season premiere on Tuesday, January 6.
TBS also wins the award for the cutest press kit received in recent memory: One Panic Button, Dart Board, Greens and Grains T Shirt, painkiller jellybeans and more; it captured the comedic bent the writers have with this improvisational and scripted show that boasts an excellent ensemble cast.
"10 Items or Less" was created by comedy improv actor John Lehr, which goes behind the scenes at a family-owned grocery store being run by a motley crew.
Lehr plays Leslie Pool, who returns to his native Ohio to run the Green & Grains grocery store he inherited from his father.
His unusual staff includes Carl (Robert Clendenin), the sweet but slightly off stock boy; Yolanda (Roberta Valderrama), the whip-cracker of the produce department - pregnant with Carl's baby; Buck (Greg Davis Jr.), the bagger attending night school; Ingrid (Kirsten Gronfield), the customer service rep who has a passion for Renaissance festivals; Richard (Christopher Liam Moore), the cashier who would rather strap on ice skates and go pro and Todd (Chris Payne Gilbert), the manly butcher with his ow dreams of being a stock car driver.
The third-season premiere sees Leslie and the gang find a great use for frozen turkeys.
“Turkey Bowling” – Tuesday, Jan. 6, at 11 p.m. (ET/PT) – TV-PG-L
From TBS: There’s a new general manager at the SuperValueMart, and she is just as determined as the last one to see Greens & Grains go under.
When Leslie, Todd and Carl create a new grocery store bowling game using frozen turkeys as balls and soda bottles as pins, she bets Leslie he can’t throw 3,000 frames without leaving a single pin standing. With his dignity on the line, Leslie takes her up on the bet, and gambling fever takes over the store.
Directed by Nancy Hower, written by Nancy Hower and John Lehr. The series was created by Robert Hickey, Nancy Hower and John Lehr.
