    A wholesome family saga loaded with positive role models, the NBC series turns what could have been a 1993 version of "The Last Picture Show" into an idealized fantasy about an inspirational "local legend" who revitalizes a losing team that was "the pride of Texas" 20 years ago. [1 Oct 1993]

    The writing is erudite and classy, the acting first-rate and the setting relatively novel. [1 Oct 1993]

    Although its inconsistencies begin to spread gratingly as it heads into its second half hour, "Against the Grain" is fairly pleasant viewing until it impales itself on its artificial, unrealistically giddy ending.
