History Series / GraceUnderFire

* ComingOutStory: With [[spoiler:Grace's father-in-law Emmet]].

''Grace Under Fire'' is a {{Sit Comic}} created and executive produced by Creator/ChuckLorre which was produced by Creator/CarseyWerner and aired on Creator/{{ABC}} from 1993–98 and starred Brett Butler as the eponymous Grace Kelly, with content finding humor in working-class life, single motherhood, and a somewhat redneck sensibility.

** Both shows replaced the actor playing the eldest child, and both shows saw one of the children cast for the pilot replaced when the show went to series. ''Roseanne'' saw Becky played first by Lecy Goranson, then by Creator/SarahChalke, then by Lecy Goranson, and finally by Sarah Chalke. D.J. was played initially by Sal Barone for the pilot, but then by Michael Fishman for the rest of the series. ''Grace Under Fire'' was only slightly less convoluted: Noah Segan (a skinny redhead with glasses) played Quinton in the pilot, but Jon Paul Steuer (a stockier brunet) took over for the first three seasons. Although they looked nothing alike, Segan and Steuer were at least born within six months of each other, but when Steuer left after the third season, he was replaced by Sam Horrigan, who was three years older (and on the other side of puberty). This forced the character to be aged up, as noted above.

* SpiritualSuccessor: to ''Series/{{Roseanne}}'', which dealt with many of the same issues and themes. Not surprising since Creator/ChuckLorre was a former ''Roseanne'' writer, Brett Butler (like Roseanne Barr) was a stand-up comedian, and Creator/CarseyWerner produced both shows (concurrently). Both shows were shot in the same format and in the same style (ThreeCameras, LaughTrack, StandardizedSitcomHousing) to the point that you'd almost believe the Conners and the Kellys might have been neighbors. (They ''did'' each live in a MoebiusNeighborhood, it's entirely possible...) Other similarities include:

* NeverLiveItDown: InUniverse, while Grace is (somewhat) cordial with Jimmy, her friends and coworkers have made it known to her that they can't get past the fact that he used to beat her.
