Does anyone remember a TV show from the 1980's where a family were in Egypt and they got lost in a pyramid and ended up in another world? It was in the early 80's I think and they had to try and find their way home. The begining started with them walking through the pyramid led by a guide with a flame torch it went dark and then they were in another world. It was not a cartoon and every episode seemed to be in the desert. I have been trying to remember it's name but can't. Many thanks.

WOW TrippingJudy you are SMART!!!
Otherworld
The Sterlings are a typical California family who visit the Great Pyramid of Cheops in Egypt. On this day there is a particular alignment of the planets which occurs once every tens of thousands of years. At that time they pass into another dimension which constitutes a whole other universe. The family journeys through this Otherworld trying to find their way back home. Their only hope of doing this is if they can reach the capital of Imar which lies across many forbidden zones and provinces that make up the states of Otherworld. As the family passes through these provinces they find varied types of cultures, political regimes, and technological levels. They are pursued by Kommander Nuveen Kroll because they took his Access Crystal which allows them access to computer memories, opens certain doors, and dispenses information about how to travel (which is important as there are no maps in Otherworld since they have been forbidden). With Kroll are the Zone Troopers which police Otherworld.
Series creator Rod Taylor has done teaching at Standford University, a recording artist for Asylum Records, occasional acting, and writing scripts. The series came about when Rod was walking across the street with the president of Universal who mentioned if only there was a way to do Lost In Space on Earth. Rod replied I have the way for you. Rod's son Bruce was also involved with the series starting when he was just 18. Since the show aired at 8pm CBS wanted it family-oriented. Rod did run up against the CBS censors on several occasions. One was over using the name Church of Artificial Intelligence but Rod eventually won out on this. The episodes were written by people involved with the show, but had the series continued Rod planned to bring in Sci-Fi writers and others not part of the mainstream. The pilot was originally to be 2 hours but was split into 2 episodes: Rules of Attraction and Village of the Motorpigs.

Me and hub only stated this instruct purely a touch in the past because of the fact we observed that baliff chick in a action picture.
