Help with remembering this old sci-fi show

In the mid-'90s I watched this sci-fi show that was several agents who had to investigate anomalies. This one guy had a record player that entranced people to where they had to take part in his '50s flashback sitcom fantasy. One of the agents was a black woman who was forced to be a maid, the other was a blonde woman who was turned into the guy's teenage daughter. They shattered the illusion by pretending that they were being hit by a nuclear bomb. Does this juice anyone's mind grapes?
Feels British to me, and I'm willing to bet made in the '70's. Otherwise, no, not a clue.

Wait, could it be Fallout, the virtual reality sequence?

Odinsdream, that was "Friday the 13th, the TV series".

Best answer: Maybe "Beyond Reality" with Shari Belafonte?
An African American actress in sci-fi and really cheesy sounding plot seems to fit the series. Check the season 2, episode 16 description.

I just scanned through this uploaded video of the show/episode mark k points out (Beyond Reality, s2e16, "Let's Play House"), and that has got to be what you're thinking of. It's a near-perfect match to your description.
