What's this show?

I'd like some help identifying a TV pilot or made for TV movie. Unfortunately I don't remember much about it. It was early/mid seventies, a family group gets stormed into another dimention in the Bermuda Triangle. The only thing I clearly remember from it, which differentiates it from a slew of others, is that one of the characters who befriends them is an alien, or half-alien. (A good looking woman.) The one scene I remember has several characters running from the Evil Authorities. When they finally shake off pursuit everyone is gasping like a fish except Alien Girl, who explains about herself because someone asks why she isn't.

The reason I know its from the early/mid seventies is because I recognized the Dad character's actor as one I saw in a cheap Kung Fu flick on a double bill with the Toshiro Mifune/Charles Bronson Samurai/Western 'Red Sun' at a drive in. (I think the alien girl was also in the K-F flick.)

Any help will be appreciated, thank you.

It's most likely

"The Fantastic Journey"

It stared Jared Martin who was also in the mid 90's War of the Worlds TV series. He had what was essentially a "magic" tuning fork that was the macguffin for the series to let them get out of the plot problem this week. He used it to destroy a brain in a plastic bubble that ruled the totalitarian society.

Roddy McDowall showed up in a later episode with a bunch of humanoid robots and joined the cast.

Yep, that's it. Thanks a lot, this has been bugging me for a while now. (I thought it might have gotten to be a series, but just couldn't remember any more about it.) Thought it might have had Atlantis in the title, which explains why I couldn't find anything on it. :heh:

NP, I remember watching it when I was a kid and it's stayed with me for some mysterious reason.
