In 1986 a miniseries Spoofing nighttime soaps (starring Carol Burnett) played on CBS. That spoof was set in Fresno and it took every Fresno stereotype Californians had about Fresno and showed them to the whole country (thanks for that you fuckheads).
Unfortunately (or fortunately), this miniseries has never come out on DVD and is a rare find on video - and forget about beta. Luckily, there is YouTube. Thank you AntiMusick for posting a link to this Famous in Fresno Miniseries on FresnoFamous.com:

What is this?
- The Fresnan is a blog drunk on Fresno's sweet sweet booze. We like posting about local music and random Fresno culture junk. We like Downtown, tri-tip, South of Shaw battles, tamales and remembering when there was a fig orchard at Herndon & Palm. We like to occasionally go to River Park but tell people we never go there.
