This 1985 sci-fi series plugged a hole on CBS for eight weeks. 'Mike Hammer' ran out of episodes when Stacy Keach was sentenced to nine months (for cocaine) in London. ''Otherworld' helped fill that gap. A family visiting the Pyramid of Giza has the unfortunate luck to do so during a rare alignment of planets and astral forces. As a result they are sucked into a parallel universe where the earth is divided into various zones. Each one is radically different from the others, giving the family in effect a new 'world' to visit each week. By the time the eighth episode aired the show ranked #68 out of 68. Theme by Sylvester Levay ('Airwolf').
