Quark a amené la première parodie de Star Trek à la télévision

Buck Henry, co-créateur de la série Max la Menace, a développé la série éphémère Quark, l'une des premières parodies de Star Trek en prime time. Diffusée en 1978 après le succès de Star Wars, elle mettait en scène un équipage excentrique à bord d'un vaisseau poubelle interstellaire.

Richard Benjamin y incarnait Adam Quark, capitaine de l'United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol. Le reste de la distribution comprenait Cyb et Patricia Barnstable dans les rôles des navigatrices Betty I et Betty II, Tim Thomerson dans celui de l'ingénieur Gene/Jean au genre changeant, et Richard Kelton dans celui de Ficus, un officier scientifique ressemblant à une plante. Conrad Janis jouait le superviseur Otto Palindrome et Alan Caillou apparaissait sous les traits du chef désincarné connu sous le nom de The Head.
