Good Grief

1990–1991 · 1 season

A featherlight sitcom that mines gentle laughs from funeral-home life, easy to dip into and forget. Its goofy premise and broad gags keep things silly rather than somber.

Overview
Good Grief is a 1990 Fox television sitcom that aired for one season of 13 episodes. The show was about a funeral home called 'The Sincerity Mortuary' in Dacron, Ohio run by strait-laced Warren Pepper, his sister Debbie, and her flamboyant husband Ernie Lapidus, who was determined to "put the 'fun' back in 'funeral.'" Tom Poston and Sheldon Feldner played assistants Ringo Prowley and Raoul, respectively.
