Howard Rosenberg Los Angeles Times [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. Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly [Grace Under Fire's] vaguely depressing humor just makes me want to channel-surf in search of more upbeat escapism. Rated: C+ Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Tom Shales Washington Post Grace Under Fire is a coarse and irritating comedy with a manifestly underwhelming star. Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Hal Boedeker Miami Herald Like Roseanne before her, Southerner Butler seems perfect for the sitcom format, and she can give any line a sarcastic spin. Rated: 3/5 Feb 16, 2022 Full Review Sundi Rose Culturess [Grace Under Fire] delivered reliably funny and topical content. Jun 27, 2019 Full Review David Zurawik Baltimore Sun 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.
