Please help me remember an old Sci-Fi show

[LiquidDamage]

Some time in the mid 80's, I saw a show that was about an average family getting stuck in a parallel world.

I barely remember anything but vague images of some sort of obelisk related to how they got into the dimension, but I do remember one thing very clearly: The mother went to the grocery store, and in it there was nothing but white labeled boxes and cans with "Good Food" written on them all in black text. She bought a bunch of it, took it home, and cooked it for the family.

This may have been one of the "new" (it was in color) Twilight Zones, or Outer Limits, but I think it was a series that was cancelled before it really went anywhere.

I've tried looking for it with several different searches on Google, but with nothing more to go on than "Parellel dimension", "sci-fi", "good food" and things of that sort, I'm not getting anything but people talking about restaurants on the same page as something sci-fi related.

Does anyone remember anything like this?

A vague memory here. I can almost picture the family but not much more than that. I do remember it enough to know it was a very short lived series and not an episode of something like the twilight zone.

I remember the obelisk. I remember a lot of deserty-ish landscape as well. It was a series and not just an episode. It may have been a mini-series. IIRC, it was in the 80s. Pretty sure I watched it while I was living with my parents. Darnit. Now it's stuck in my head.

Heh. You already said it was in the 80's. Nevermind about that comment then. ;)

Edit: Could it have been "Otherworld"?

Otherworld, CBS, 26 Jan 1985-16 Mar 1985

    Alternate universe series with the Great Pyramid as gateway,
    and therefore oddly similar to "Stargate" in some aspects.
    Hal Sterling -- Sam Groom
    June Sterling -- Gretchen Corbett
    Trace Sterling -- Tony O'Dell
    Gina Sterling -- Jonna Lee
    Smith Sterling -- Brandon Crane
    Kommander Nuveen Kroll -- Jonathan Banks

Not much info there and it just doesn't quite seem to fit with what I remember, and the name may only ring a bell to me because of Tad Williams' book "Otherland". I'm back to digging up more stuff.

That's it!

So I searched for Otherworld and "Good Food" and got this blog entry:

That is the exact scene I was talking about.

Thanks, Treesh. :)

That blog entry definitely makes it sound much more familiar than the little snippet I found. Good deal. :D Now it won't have to bug the hell out of me for the rest of the day. ;)

Some folks have a knack for looking at the world with an eye to the absurd, and that Marcus fellow seems to have it. Thanks for the link, I got a few giggles out of it.
