PLOT: When a boat passes into the Bermuda Triangle, its passengers find themselves stranded in a strange world in which they can pass through different time continuums._Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings [Dave Sindelar]
STORYLINE: A group of passengers on their way to have a vacation become shipwrecked on a strange island where people from all times and dimensions are trapped._IMDb
NARRATOR (during opening credits): ''Lost in the Devil's Triangle, trapped in a dimension with beings from the future and other worlds, a party of adventurers journey through zones of time back to their own time. Varian, a man from the 23rd century, possessing awesome powers; from 1977; Fred, a young doctor just out of medical school; Scott Jordan, the thirteen-year-old son of a famous scientist; Liana, daughter of an Atlantean father and an extraterrestrial mother; and Jonathan Willaway, a rebel scientist from the 1960s. Together they face the frightening unknown on ... The Fantastic Journey.''
IMDb User Review: (Partial review to avoid ''SPOILERs.') And So The Journey Begins Jan. 18, 2014 by richard.fuller): The beginning of '77 and into the summer, one of the most intriguing shows never to be forgotten started and aired every Tuesday night on NBC (or was it Thursday?) It didn't matter. For this 11-yr-old, Fantastic Journey was not to be missed./While I didn't recall so much about the beginning, I knew it involved a small family and some others who were lost in the fog of the Bermuda Triangle.
All in All July 16, 2011 by Fantastic Movie Musings and Ramblings [Dave Sindelar]: I found the pilot fairly so-so, though I do like the central idea; most of the plot involves some rather uninteresting sixteenth-century pirates. My guess is that the series was bought with the idea of making a few changes to make it more viable. Since I had to buy the whole series to get the pilot, I’ll probably check them out, though I won’t be covering them here. Since the series was so short-lived, I suspect it never really developed into anything special. ** One more available review, by John Kenneth Muir's Reflections on Cult Movies and Classic TV, at WEB ADDRESS: https://reflectionsonfilmandtelevision.blogspot.com/2012/01/cult-tv-blogging-fantastic-journey.html

The Fantastic Journey was based on a great central idea. A group of people are marooned on an island that is divided into zones. In which zone is a different community, some more technologically advanced than others. The first one our heroes arrive in is inhabited by pirates. Ian McShane guest stars. Due to legal reasons, only ten episodes were made. I hope one day we will see a range of books based on the series.

Not much use uploading just a single episode of this old show. Of the planned 13 episodes 10 were produced before the cancellation because of low ratings. PIty the rest of them are not here too.
