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.
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.
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 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.
[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.
