While Grace Under Fire isn't on the level of top notch 90s comedies like Frasier, Wings, Home Improvement, Coach, Mad About You, and Seinfeld, I will take Grace Under Fire any day over highly overrated Roseanne.

Not me. Ever since I read years ago how Brett Butler disgustingly exposed herself to the little boy on the show and the ensuing sexual harassment suit against her afterwards I was turned off to the show forever.

And that poor little boy committed suicide by gunshot 2 years ago at age 33 which makes me wonder what else that woman did to him when he was on the show.

So i'll definitely take Roseanne and her foul mouth any day over Dis-Grace.

I have little desire to revisit Grace Under Fire, as it's so old, but Brett Butler recently has appeared on more than a couple of episodes of The Morning Show, an Apple TV+ series. She plays Reese Witherspoon's character's mom, from a blue collar WV family.

Although not a sitcom, but a black comedy series, On Becoming a God in Central Florida, with Kirsten Dunst from Showtime, is a new blue collar show worth checking out.

On broadcast, I do tend to watch The Connors (ABC), and Superstore (NBC), both which are blue collar.

I enjoyed Grace Under Fire while it aired, and I got to meet Brett Butler when she was at the height of her fame (she walked into the store I was working in at the time, which was quite the surprise).


But Brett's demons got the best of her, and she went as far off the rails as Roseanne ever did. The incident with the original son was just one such incident. Had their genders been reversed, Brett would have been a pariah to this day.



I don't consider GUF funnier than Roseanne (because Roseanne at its funniest was extremely funny), but I do feel both series had a similar feel, and both had female stars who, after several years of rave reviews and mega-hit shows, descended into drug use and abuse of co-workers.

On broadcast, I do tend to watch The Connors (ABC), and Superstore (NBC), both which are blue collar.

The Conners, Superstore (which I just got into), and Mom are the only three shows I watch that are current.

That's so cool you got into Superstore, I like that show, too! I also watch The Good Place which is current but it's ending soon so Superstore would be the only current sitcom I'd watch. I was watching A.P. Bio but it went downhill after season 1.
