Grace Under Fire is a formula sitcom. Surprisingly enough, it works to a large extent. And most of the credit for that has to go to Butler herself.

On balance it's a good, fun show. But it's not a true standout.

Grace Under Fire reminds us that not only is it possible to start from scratch despite difficult odds, but that you can laugh while you do it.

While Carsey-Werner's Roseanne has found the balance between humor and taboo/offbeat topics, Grace isn't there yet. Several asides are tasteless but funny, while others - including one about the real Grace Kelly - are just tasteless.

[Grace Under Fire] delivered reliably funny and topical content.
June 26, 2019
Grace Under Fire provided a raw look at middle America families. While it may not have been the cleanest series, it definitely stood out to those who gave it a chance.
June 26, 2019
Grace Under Fire is a coarse and irritating comedy with a manifestly underwhelming star.
June 26, 2019
The combination of [Brett] Butler and [Dave] Thomas, the producers from Roseanne and the time period following Home Improvement makes Grace Under Fire look like a sure-fire hit that will be gracing ABC's schedule for years to come.
June 26, 2019
[Grace Under Fire's] vaguely depressing humor just makes me want to channel-surf in search of more upbeat escapism.
June 26, 2019
Brett Butler's Grace was a true outlier among sitcom characters. It was the exact sort of background that so often would have been given to a man in a sitcom, and it made everything seem so much more genuine.

[Brett] Butler is witty and TV-friendly in a well-written, tailor-made role as a woman whose instinctively humorous side is shaded by the somber realities of single parenthood in the harsh '90s.
