Quark tog tidig Star Trek-parodi till tv-rutan

Buck Henry, medskapare av Get Smart, utvecklade den kortlivade serien Quark som en av de första parodierna på Star Trek i bästa sändningstid. Serien sändes 1978 efter framgången med Star Wars och kretsade kring en excentrisk besättning på ett interstellärt skräpskepp.

Richard Benjamin spelade huvudrollen som Adam Quark, kapten för United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol. I rollistan fanns även Cyb och Patricia Barnstable som navigatörerna Betty I och Betty II, Tim Thomerson som den könsbytande ingenjören Gene/Jean, samt Richard Kelton som den växtliknande vetenskapsofficeren Ficus. Conrad Janis spelade arbetsledaren Otto Palindrome och Alan Caillou dök upp som den kroppslösa chefen känd som The Head.
