10 Items Or Less: First Time

Posted by Ryan Leslie’s new Customer Appreciation Corner offers free coffee for everyone. But there’s a problem — he’s gone through 45 cases of French Vanilla Coffee-mate creamer this week alone. Where’s it all going? Carl knows. He’s hooked on the stuff, drinking it straight, making Carltinis, adding it to Juevos Carlitos and putting it on fish. At the customer service desk, Leslie notices Ingrid writing about her Virginity Goodbye Project. Yes, Ingrid is a virgin, but she’s decided to put an end to that. Leslie supports her in this effort, and wants to know if there’s anything he can […]

Free Some Time For G4's "Duty Free TV" Block

Posted by Ryan On Feb. 4 at 9pm ET/PT, video game network G4 premieres “Duty Free TV,” a block of programming imported from Japan. Cult hit Ninja Warrior is joined by two new shows: Unbeatable Banzuke and Super Big Product Fun Show. I got a little preview of both new shows: Super Big Product Fun Show — Fans of Spike’s MXC will love this. It’s a Japanese Batsu-style “punishment game” show with hilarious English dialog dubbed over it. Hosted by “The Batsu Boys” Ashton and Gary, SBPFS puts product testers through some grueling and embarrassing challenges. The episode I screened […]

Super Bowl XLII: Best And Worst Commercials

Posted by Cubicle QB We make sandwich. I am meat. Wow. That was unexpected. The Giants killed the Pats’ perfect season in the biggest way possible. I’m not quite ready to accept that we’re now going to hear “Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning.” But I’m not here to analyze the X’s and O’s of the game. I’m here to pick my seven best and worst commercials. It’s a better crop than last year, but still pretty lackluster. (You can watch them all again on MySpace. See what other people thought on USA Today’s Ad Meter.) Here are my picks: The […]

10 Items Or Less: To Heir Is Human

Posted by Ryan It’s the one-year anniversary of Leslie’s father’s passing. A year ago, Bud Pool collapsed in the kosher foods aisle, and like the yeast in the lavache bread, he never rose. Carl was the first on the scene, but he could not resuscitate Bud — there were mumblings that Carl had to stock the bread first. Leslie’s having a memorial service for his father in the kosher section, and Ingrid plays four mournful tunes on her accordion. Leslie wants to spread his father’s ashes, but he can’t do it in the store, as the ashes are too “chunky.” […]

10 Items Or Less: Forever Young

Buck is over an hour late to work, and he stinks of booze. He tells Richard that his friends took him out last night for his 21st birthday, and he drank a lot of kamikazes, cosmopolitans or cosmokazes — he can’t remember. And apparently he hooked up with an older blonde French woman … who looks a lot like Amy from Super Value Mart. Knowing Leslie would feel betrayed, Richard and Buck have to keep this a secret. Leslie thinks Buck has a drinking problem, and he wants to mobilize the crew into helping Buck out. Yolanda has to get […]

Super Bowl Classics On NFL Network

Good news from NFL Network today. They’ll be airing 10 classic Super Bowls in their entirety over the next 12 days. Five of these Super Bowls have never been reaired before, and a few of them will include their halftime shows. The broadcasts include the original network announcers and graphics, but alas, the original commercials won’t air with them (I could use some Bud Bowl action). NFL Network will also show the 2007 Week 17 Patriots-Giants game on Jan. 24 at 9pm ET and Feb. 1 at 9pm ET. Oh, you still don’t get NFL Network? Then it’s TS4U. Here […]

7 Questions With...

8 Questions With … John Lehr

1. What has been your strangest fan encounter? John Lehr: I just took my daughter to Travel Town, which is a little park inside Griffith Park, and this guy just comes running up to me with his kid, saying how much he loved [10 Items or Less]. It really freaked me and my daughter out, because we didn’t know why he was coming. 2. You’re at a magazine rack and can pick three magazines. What are they? I think I would pick Vogue, even though I don’t read it or anything. Just the amount of pages you get for your […]

My Name Is Earl: Bad Earl

Nothing stirs up the spirit of the Yule like watching a Christmas-related episode two weeks after Christmas. “Bad Earl” was originally scheduled for Dec. 13, but NBC pushed it way back, probably thinking it was best to not burn a new episode when the ratings probably weren’t going to be good. Earl is out of prison (prison’s not quite out of him), but he’s finding it hard to celebrate during his release party at the Crab Shack. He has his list back, but he’s doubting the existence of karma. All of his good deeds have brought him nothing but misfortune. […]

10 Items Or Less: The John Lehr Interview

If you’ve tuned to TBS at all in the past few weeks, you know that 10 Items or Less is coming back for Season 2 on Jan. 15 at 11pm ET. 10 Items was one of the better comedies from the fall ’06 season and one that flew under a lot of people’s radar. If you haven’t seen it, think of it as The Office in a grocery store, sans the documentary style. If you’ve been looking for something to cleanse the palate from all the bad reality shows and uninspired midseason replacements during the writers’ strike, 10 Items might […]
