I have an idea for a family fantasy comedy show. It's starts with the introduction of this perfectly normal suburban family; Insurance Salesman Husband and Father, Elementary School Teacher Wife and Mother, and their 16-year-old Nerdy and Fantasy Loving Daughter. However, one day during a freak thunderstorm, the daughter mysteriously disappears on her way home from school, and for the next 10 years the parents mourn and try to solve the mystery of their daughter's disappearance.
On the tenth anniversary of daughter's disappearance, another freak storm appears, and a bolt of lightning strikes the husband and wife. When they open their eyes, the couple sees that they are no longer in the suburbs, but a forest clearing where they can see what looks like a medieval city and castle in the distance.
When the couple turns around, they see their now 26-year-old daughter on horse-back, she's dressed in leather armor and has a large scar across her cheek, but alive and well.
The reunited family has a happy and tearful hug, and the parents start questioning their daughter.
"We thought you were dead! Where have you been?"
"Were you kidnapped? Who took you?"
the daughter replies, "No guys, I'm fine and no one kidnapped me. I'll explain everything on the way home."
As the family makes their way to the medieval city, the daughter explains that 10 years ago during that storm she was stuck by lightning too and was transported to this Elder Scrolls-Esque fantasy world. During the last 10 years, the daughter learned how to fight with swords, learned archery, learned magic, became an adventurer, joined several guilds and factions, fought against witches, vampires, werewolves, trolls, giants, dragons, and demons, and led the charge in a war against the ultimate evil of this world in the form of an eldritch demon king god, who she single handedly defeated in battle and she is now hailed as the greatest and most powerful warrior/mage/hero who has lived in this world.
As they enter the city, the parents try to comprehend all this information and not noticing how the city guards bow to them, the daughter concludes her story by saying, that was three years ago, and the king of this country rewarded her by appointing her jarl and gifting her a large amount of land to have this city built on, and since then she has been ruling over the city, is happily married to her orc warrior husband, and raising their 2-month-old halfling twin babies.
This is the first episode; the rest of the series follows the suburban couple trying to find their footing in this fantasy world they now call home with the help of their retired adventurer turned jarl daughter, warrior orc son-in-law, and the many well-meaning but not quite helpful new neighbors (including their daughter's werewolf ex-boyfriend, a booze loving dwarf blacksmith woman, a zany court wizard, a brash and sarcastic goblin rogue, and a fast-talking lizardman merchant).
