Quark llevó la primera parodia de Star Trek a la televisión

Buck Henry, cocreador de Get Smart, desarrolló la efímera serie Quark como una de las primeras parodias de Star Trek en horario estelar. El programa se emitió en 1978 tras el éxito de Star Wars y presentaba a una tripulación excéntrica en una nave intergaláctica de recolección de basura.

Richard Benjamin protagonizó el papel de Adam Quark, capitán de la Patrulla de Saneamiento de la Galaxia Unida. El reparto secundario incluía a Cyb y Patricia Barnstable como las navegantes Betty I y Betty II, Tim Thomerson como el ingeniero de género cambiante Gene/Jean, y Richard Kelton como Ficus, el oficial científico con apariencia de planta. Conrad Janis interpretó al supervisor Otto Palindrome y Alan Caillou apareció como el jefe sin cuerpo conocido como The Head.
