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 straight-laced Warren Pepper (Joel Brooks), his sister Debbie (Wendy Schaal), and her flamboyant husband Ernie Lapidus (Howie Mandel), who was determined to "put the 'fun' back in 'funeral.'" Tom Poston and Sheldon Feldner played assistants Ringo Prowley and Raoul, respectively.
