Fresno (miniseries)
''Fresno'' is a 1986 television comedy miniseries that parodied popular prime time soap operas of the day such as ''Falcon Crest'', ''Dallas'', and ''Dynasty''. The series featured high production values, including lavish ''haute couture'' gowns by leading costume designer Bob Mackie, a stellar cast of American comedy greats, including Carol Burnett, Teri Garr, Charles Grodin and Dabney Coleman, and a strong supporting cast of character actors including Charles Keating, Pat Corley, Louise Latham, Tom Poston and Henry Darrow. ''Fresno'' is also noteworthy for providing early featured roles for future stars Bill Paxton and Michael Richards. It was noted at the time as being the first American satirical TV comedy to be made in the then-popular miniseries format.〔(John J.

==Summary==
Parodying popular prime time soap operas of the era such as ''Dallas'', ''Dynasty'', ''Falcon Crest'' and ''Knots Landing'', ''Fresno'' chronicles the struggle of matriarch Charlotte Kensington (Burnett) to keep control of her dysfunctional family and defend their declining raisin empire against their arch-rival, the villainous Tyler Cane (Dabney Coleman). In the words of a contemporary network press release:
: ''Fresno'' rips apart the surface gloss and glitter of the nation's 64th largest city to reveal the sun-ripened passions and freeze-dried hearts of wealthy raisin tycoons as they wage a life-and-death battle for money, power and control of the vital raisin cartel.'〔
