Checkout, the sitcom set in a smallish fictional Israeli supermarket. The characters are extraordinarily funny stereotypes of Israelis from all over the world. My favourites are Prof. Titinsky (Dov Navon) who is always trying to break the rules of the supermarket and also the two butchers, one a Sabra and one from Moldova.. The manager, Shira Steinbuch (Noa Kohler,) is a devotee of Steve Jobs and there are two cashiers whose interactions with the customers, especially Titinsky, are priceless. Then there's the security person who's never in the right place at the right time and the Arab-Israeli Ramzi who devotes his life to the store. Rather than list all the characters, why not just read the Wikipedia article about it. Look for
Checkout (Israeli TV series). The series is available on ChaiFlicks and is in its third season with about 80 twenty-minute episodes so far, and I hope lots more. In Hebrew w/ English subtitles. - Walter Zimmerman, London, Ontario, Canada
The cast of "Checkout" is INCREDIBLE and it's probably the most popular and widely beloved Israeli show in Israel at the moment. Will definitely write more about it in the future!
