Here's a clip:

Trivia tidbit: Not much to say, it only lasted one season. It was just a little too cheesy. Speaking of cheese, did you know that Quark is a kind of cheese? And here you thought it was just a little itty bitty particle. :-)

I can't believe somebody else remembers this show. I remember the crew consisted of the two blondes (twins) who were always arguing which one was the clone, Gene/Jean who would switch between being a total he-man/stud and a complete poof in an instant, and Ficus, the Vegeton (he was a plant) who was the Spock parody (I remember him being tortured by being kept beneath a sun lamp by the villain.

Hmm... Was this like an American version of Red Dwarf? It sounds like it...

Quark was 1977, Red Dwarf 1988, so if anything it was the other way around. :) Though Red Dwarf is so very English, it's hard to believe it'd be a knockoff of *anything* American.

No idea how I could have missed this one back in '77 when I was totally gaga over Star Wars and into anything sci-fi, regardless of whether it was Battlestar Galactica ('78) bad, or all the way Space:1999 bad.

I do love Red Dwarf, and the SiFy channel remake of Battlestar Galactica is probably one of the best tv series I ever watched. So say we all!

Great image. Good size, nice detail. Very doable. No guessing.
