1985 CBS. "Village of the Motorpigs." Directed by Paul Michael Glaser. Series created by Roderick Taylor. Gretchen Corbett, Sam Groom, Jonna Lee, Tony O'Dell. Bad guy is Jonathan Banks. While on vacation at the pyramids, a family is transported to an alternate universe, Otherworld. Otherworld has different zones in it and every week the family would be in another zone with a different story. Jonathan Banks is Kroll, one of the Zone Troopers, who encounters the family when they arrive and has his vehicle, weapon, and equipment stolen. This week is the bikers, but they don't have a zone, they're rebels. Guest stars are Vincent Schiavelli, Jeff East, Marjoe Gortner, Charles Lane, Donald Gibb, Peter Bromilow.
While traveling through the Forbidden Zone in Charles Lane's bus, the family is caught by a Zone Trooper checkpoint, but a biker gang happens along and spirits them away. The biker gang is led by Marjoe Gortner, who keeps his people in line by feeding them drugs. Jeff East and Vincent Schiavelli are two of the bikers who are resisting Gortner's control.
Otherworld re-aired on the Sci-Fi Channel so all eight episodes are available several places on Youtube. I watched most of them a couple of years ago. Pretty good show.
