Grace Under Fire is a Sit Comic starring Brett Butler as the eponymous Grace Kelly with content finding humor in Working Class life, Single Motherhood and a somewhat Redneck feel. Famously hit the skids in its fourth season due to its pill-popping star's on-set antics. Surprisingly, the show limped its way to a fifth season, but was abruptly canceled when Butler's rehab stumbled. Grace Under Fire (sometimes known as Grace Under Pressure) is an American television series which ran for five seasons on ABC from 29 September 1993 to 17 February 1998. The show starred Brett Butler as Grace Kelly, a divorced single mother and recovering alcoholic. The show begins after Grace divorces her abusive alcoholic husband of eight years in an attempt to start life over. The show revolved around Grace's family, friends, and co-workers. She has three children: mischievous Quentin (Jon Paul Steuer), happy-go-lucky Libby (Kaitlin Cullum), and infant Patrick (Dylan and Cole Sprouse). Her best friends are her neighbours, Nadine and Wade Swoboda (Julie White and Casey Sander). In addition, for the first three seasons, the show had a very blue-collar appeal due to Grace's chosen line of work, post-divorce: she operates pipelines at the local oil refinery, and has a second family of fellow crew workers down at the plant. After the first season, the creative aspect of the show experienced a revolving door of producers and writers as a result of creative clashes between the production team and the star. In the fourth and fifth seasons of the show, Butler was fighting a painkiller addiction; and her first round of treatment and rehab delayed the start of the 1997-98 season. Morale on the set was little better than in the previous season, due to the star's erratic behavior; and, after she relapsed, ABC cancelled the series. Adapted from the Wikipedia article on Grace Under Fire. The show first premiered on September 29, 1993 and became the highest-rated new comedy of the 1993-94 TV season. During the show's 4th & 5th seasons, Brett Butler was battling a painkiller addiction for (which she eventually sought medical help). Cast member Julie White left the show after the 4th season due to Butler's behavior. During the 4th season, "Grace Under Fire" began dropping in the ratings from 13th to 45th place. Due to Butler's first stint & treatment in rehab, the show's 5th season was delayed until November. After the show resumed production, the morale on the set was little better than in the previous season, due to the star's erratic behavior. During the holidays, Butler relapsed again and even though the producers were as committed as ever to continuing with the show, ABC was becoming concerned about Butler's overall health and became less than patient with her accelerated amount of missed tapings. Meanwhile, the show's ratings continued to fall dramatically, which may have well been attributed to Butler's reputation in the press, the longer-than-usual hiatus the series took between seasons four and five and the fact that the character of Grace Kelly no longer went through the kinds of struggles that had made the show successful earlier on. The addition of new cast member Julia Duffy (who was introduced several episodes into the fifth season) was a last-ditch attempt to improve the ratings, but due to Butler's current state, the network was not inspired to continue on with the series. On February 17, 1998, "Grace Under Fire" was abruptly cancelled after 5 seasons and 112 episodes.
