anyone remember this short-lived (1 season) show that aired on NBC in 1977 or 78? It was a science fiction comedy that stared Richard Benjaman as the captain of a garbage scow in outer space. Some of his crew members were a person named Gene/Jean, who had a full set of male and female cromogones, and two twin girls named Betty 1 and Betty 2. One was a clone of the other, but noone knew which was which. Their boss was a guy named Otto Palandrome (the joke was that the name Otto IS a palandrome-a word that's spelled the same way backwards and forward) and HIS boss was named "the big, giant head" and was, literlarly, just a big, giant, disembodied head:lol: :lol:
The show was created by Buck Henry and was on Friday nights as a replacment for the extremely short-lived "SANFORD ARMS".

(OK TV KNOWLEDGE FAN you no doubt know A LOT MORE about it:lol: -so go ahead, say it)

Quark the Entire Series is available on DVD. It was released by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. This DVD set is currently on my want list!

Don't forget "Ficus" the "Vegeton" who was a humanoid vegetable, lol, and Andy the junkheap robot.

I loved "Quark" and always thought it should have lasted longer.

yea, me too. I remember I was so mad when it was cannceled.

I remember the first episode had a plot that was similar to "STAR WARS" which was still in theaters at the time.

I always thought the theme song in the pilot episode of Quark sounded like rap/hip-hop music, although Quark aired before rap/hip-hop exploded in popularity during the 1980s.

This actually replaced Chico And The Man toward the end of the season; CPO Sharkey (which now moved to 8:30) had replaced Sanford Arms many months earlier.

I watched it during its original run, and bought the series on DVD awhile back. It has its share of amusing bits.
