'''Quark''': Ficus, what you're saying is that all possibilities end in our death.|"All the Emperor's Quasi-Norms, Part 1"}}
 
Not a [[Deep Space Nine|Ferengi bartender]], nor a [[Useful Notes/Quantum Physics|subatomic particle]], but a 1970s sci-fi [[Parody Tropes|parody]] of ''[[Star Trek]]'' from ''[[Get Smart (TV)|Get Smart]]'' co-creator Buck Henry. It was basically the US-version of ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'', but with only [[Too Good to Last|eight episodes]].
 
The show was set on the ''United Galaxies Sanitation Patrol Cruiser'', a garbage scow working for the United Galaxies Space Station Perma 1. It regularly satirized ''[[Star Trek]]'', ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'', and ''[[Flash Gordon (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Flash Gordon]]''. The characters were:
 
* '''Adam Quark''': [[The Captain]], who longs for glamorous assignments, but ends up picking up garbage bags. Often gets into adventures without meaning to.
Line 18:
* '''Andy''': A [[Cowardly Sidekick]] [[Robot Buddy]], he was basically a stupid [[Hitch Hikers Guide to The Galaxy|Marvin]].
* '''Otto Palindrome''': The [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]] who is in charge of Perma 1. He loves making Quark miserable.
* '''Dink''': The [[Non-Human Sidekick]] for Otto, he was basically Cousin It from ''[[The Addams Family (TV)|The Addams Family]]'' [[Recycled in Space|IN SPACE]].
* '''The Head''': The [[Bad Boss]] crossed with a giant [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|Rubber Forehead Alien]], Otto answered to him, and he frequently assigned Quark to bizarre jobs.
