25The improvisations are sometimes so forced that I swear you can actually see the actors thinking about what to say next.
-
20Most of the time, [Lehr] and the show are insufferable.
-
7010 Items or Less is a quick hit of inanity, as close to The Office as anything else.
-
60There are no deep belly laughs here but you can count on a steady stream of chuckles, more from the characters than the situations.
-
50The show, in its way, is too slight to be totally fulfilling, tending to collapse into slapstick, but it can get by on moments.
-
30It's partially improvised, which comes off looking like they're having more fun than we are.
-
20"10 Items or Less" labors too hard at being clever and occasionally teeters into shrill mode where a half-dozen characters are all yelling at each other simultaneously.
-
20Bluntly put, neither the writers nor the actors are good enough at what they're trying to do to justify trying to do it. They'd all be better off making "10 Items" a traditional scripted show, because then it would stand a better chance of making sense.
-
10Yet another doomed and dreadful attempt to bring improv comedy to television.
-
50"10 Items" isn't a great comedy yet, but it often takes time.
-
30While you have to give them credit for trying something at least a little different, the creators and cast try way too hard to pull laughs out of the situation and the show comes off as forced and unbelievable.
-
91"Items" is like NBC's "The Office" on laughing gas - the same kind of poker-faced dysfunction in a crushingly ordinary setting, but faster and funnier.
-
It's as much miss as hit. [1 Dec 2006, p.75]
