Quark
Quark is a American science fiction situation comedy starring Richard Benjamin. The pilot first aired on May 7, 1977, and also the show followed as a mid-season replacement in February 1978. The show was cancelled in April 1978. Quark was created by Buck Henry, co-creator of this spy spoof Get Smart.
The series was put on a United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol Cruiser, an interstellar garbage scow working out of United Galaxies Space-station Perma One at the Season 2226. Adam Quark, the principal character, works to clean up trash in space by collecting"space baggies" together with his reputable and highly odd team.
In its short run, Quark satirized such sciencefiction as Star Wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey and Flash Gordon. Three of those episodes were direct satires of all Star Trek events.
The show won one Emmy Award nomination, for costume developer Grady Hunt's job from the episode"Each of the Emperor's Quasi-Norms, Part 2".
The show has been released on DVD.
