Does anyone remember "Quark?" As I recall, it was a summer series starring Richard Benjamin as Quark, the commander of an interstellar garbage scow. It was a satire of the "serious" space shows - for example, one of Quark's crew was a humanoid being who had no emotions (clearly a takeoff on Spock), and the reason he had no emotions was that he was a plant. (A vegetable, not a spy.) I don't remember much about the show except that I thought it was hilarious. Unfortunately, it never made it into regular programming. Does anyone else remember more about "Quark?" For example, can anyone tell me when it was on the air? Has it ever shown up in reruns? Alan R. Kaminsky ...ihps3!ihuxv!aark
