Default Re: Best SF Series that Almost Were

Otherworld had enormous problems.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherworld_(TV_series)

First of all the concept sucked. What worked for Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1910 or the nitwits who brought us "Land of the Lost" doesn't work for a modern audience geared up for serious science fiction. Pyramid transportation to an alter Earth? Lost me at the gate and goes downhill from there.

Also I don't buy into a Rift Earth universe.

The technology was laughable and the artificial social constructs (called plot contrivance4) top drive story made no sense.

in a big way.
