Quark | The Old and the Beautiful | S1EP2 FULL EPISODE | Classic TV Rewind

[@chrisdorr5786]

The best interstellar garbage scow you’ve ever seen. I’ve remembered this since it aired!

[@simonkormendy849]

Ah, I remember watching this series on TV quite a few years ago, cool.

[@TedBronson1918]

I saw one episode of this show many yrs ago when I was in the Army and it had me laughing enough to remember it. I finally see a 2nd episode at age 61. I barely remembered it except for its name.

[@Forcemaster2000]

Loved watching this show, a 70s classic!

[@MerlinTheGreat-op3lz]

They got the Dad from Mork and Mindy on this.... thats great / thank you for posting

[@bentonmarcum8924]

Loved watching the twins 😎😎

[@rickjohnston2667]

It's not Red Dwarf or the Orville, but definitely a predecessor to both in tone.

[@masterskrain2630]

I had almost forgotten about this show. thanks much for finding it!!

[@catsupchutney]

Same here! How could I have forgotten Tricia Barnstable?

[@electryc03]

Haha, I've been trying to dig up an episode about this show. Good find, I'm impressed.

[@nilsnyman6767]

No clue what this is but i know one thing I NEED MORE OF IT! This is totally awesome!

[@victorwhite8318]

Ficus was the funniest alien EVER.

[@JuandeFucaU]

I googled the word "smarmy" and got a link to this video.

[@kelvinh8327]

Richard Benjamin was excellent in this episode

[@jamesandreu516]

I do not remember this at all. Now I'll never be able to forget it. 😭😉

[@jamesandreu516]

It's like star trek meats Charlie's angels meats duck dodgers in the 24 1/2 century 😀

[@benjaminwigley4132]

i miss this crazy show!!!

[@valueofnothing2487]

After Get Smart, Buck Henry does this and Mel Brooks does Spaceballs.

[@shawnio]

THATS WHAT I WAS THINKING LOL

[@Dalekzilla]

I loved this very short lived show. Luckily, many years ago they released all the episodes on DVD and I got it.

[@LordZontar]

Short-lived science fiction comedy series but very memorable for its brief run on NBC.

[@Skaramine]

I remembered Richard Benjamin, but I didn't recall Tim Thomerson, nor David Gerrold producing it. At seven, I loved this show.

[@popeyeandthejeep7459]

I loved this show. I just can't remember it. Go figure. Love the Betty's

[@HC-cb4yp]

Such a fun show...

[@djstief8190]

Been waiting for someone to find this! We got one season in Australia, I never forgot it! More, more!

[@CygnusFour]

I watched this faithfully when it first came on. Is this where Tim Thomerson got his big break? He went to some really good sci movies like Trancers (1984) along side an unknown Helen Hunt. Richard Benjamin was great in everything he did.

[@chaosordeal294]

"Quark made me proud to be an earthling!" said a guy in a pre-release ad for Quark.

[@VJFranzK]

Never saw this! But it's like a Starwars holiday special every day of the year...

[@robvangessel3766]

Hey, this is interesting. The forerunner of all Star Trek parodies.

[@giannagiavelli5098]

Best show ever!!

[@Voodoomaria]

I have it on DVD. Typical 70's humour. Still a fun watch, I always liked Ficus and the Bettys.

[@cloudrdr]

Never saw this. I must have been working those nights. This is terific fun.

[@jamesmackenzie8271]

Enjoyed the movie. Thanks.

[@kevinkeene1593]

Fun TV series from Buck Henry. Richard Benjamin was great in it. Unfortunately, NBC was a total wreck at this time, and virtually all of their new shows got canceled after a few episodes.

[@Sueb18631]

Also, it's not a terribly great show, although it had its moments and good concepts.

[@danthomas2146]

Thanks for posting!!!

[@halholland1637]

And people wonder why we loved Star Wars so much.

[@Paul_Wetor]

Star Trek 1960s: Klingons called the Enterprise a garbage scow. Quark 1970s: "Garbage scow? I smell sitcom!"

[@lar1382]

I wonder if the "Big Head" is related to the "Big Giant Head" in "3rd Rock from the Sun".

[@DNulrammah]

@ 1:15 : WTH do they have T.A.R.D.I.S. console??? LOL!

[@davidthedeaf]

They stole a lot of ideas.

[@plasticweapon]

the algorithim knew i was thinking about checking out this show.

[@carlosfonseca5754]

Lmfao at the big head that is hilarious make up

[@robertusa1234]

A comedy version of Star Trek/Buck Rogers can’t imagine why it failed

[@allanalogmusicat78rpm]

I remember wanting to like QUARK far more than I did. I don't think Richard Benjamin has ever made me laugh.

[@tracyleewilliamson4727]

hahaha what a show thanks

[@vinniemorciglio4632]

Mindy's Dad should have figured out Mork a solar system away....

[@petercampbell8694]

Amazing what A.I can create these days! 😳

[@danijelandroid]

Did the "Gorgies" have the same model ship?

[@curtisbryce5096]

Wow, a TV show with real women that we can fantasize over. Sigh !!!

[@krakatoainc2809]

Fun Fact: Richard Benjamin's character in Quark is the Grandson of his character in Westworld

[@tsitracommunications2884]

Good times

Did Twiggy grow hair.Beep beep,what's up Buck?

[@ronald-xs7sp]

Twiki.

[@WatchingTrainsGoBy-PassingTime]

Who is the beauty in the thumbnail that played "Commander Black"? She isn't listed or credited anywhere. Even an internet search turns up nothing. She looks kind of familiar though.

[@stevemcnaughton-kb3jc96]

I thought maybe Grace Lee Whitney - Yeoman Rand from Star Trek, but not positive.

[@WatchingTrainsGoBy-PassingTime]

@@stevemcnaughton-kb3jc96 actually I noticed someone further down mention in a reply, Angelique Pettyjohn and he may be right... Makes sense since she knew Buck Henry, appeared in star trek and on get smart... I should give his comment a thumbs up actually.

[@davidgifford8112]

⁠​⁠@@stevemcnaughton-kb3jc96I agree Grace Lee Whitney.

[@frankcarter7146]

Where is episode one?

[@rascal1234]

I wonder why this was cancelled.Not a bad show. Certainly better than most of the garbage in 1978.

[@rsuriyop]

Most likely it was because there was an accidental death of one of the main cast members (Richard Kelton) real early on.

[@Sueb18631]

@@rsuriyopKelton didn't die until after the show was canceled.

[@dad_jokes_4ever226]

Cool ! Tim Thomerson

[@flaminghulaballoo]

Almost the only notable survivor of this really very terrible production.

[@popeyeandthejeep7459]

Got to give it to him. Man had some great hair

This show was in 8track tape surround Quad sound a spin-off from STAR WARS 1977

More Betty's please

[@jpotter2086]

THis aired the year I was born, have never seen it before! While the first episode was terrible, it immediately picked up afterwards! Dumb, but in a great way, better than Spaceballs!

[@vg23air]

omg i cant watch another one, beyond bad

[@michaelburke750]

30 seconds into the credits and I suddenly remembered why I don’t remember this program…

[@imacmill]

I don't get it.

[@nickelstew]

You ain't kidding - this is the dumbest space show ever made. How did the network's executive board OK this?

[@davidthedeaf]

A lot of Star Trek sounds and Spock stuff.

[@davidthedeaf]

@@nickelstewever seen Get Smart?

[@Phillyfan45]

@@davidthedeafyes and Buck Henry was one half of the creative team behind that series. Mel Brooks was the other. The better half.

Angelique Pettyjohn?

Good eye... I think that may be the one. It fits consider her star trek and buck henry connections@@alanluber5383

Just a guess... Grace Lee Whitney???

[@BigSifu67]

Is that a TARDIS console in the beginning???

[@ThomasTalbotMD]

Thanks for sharing this. I haven't seen this since it aired and well, it's a really lousy show. I liked the twins, though.

[@OceanPatriot777]

[@AquarianNomadic]

15:10 Biden 😂😂😂😂😂

[@shawnio]

this is so weird, why do I remember this?

[@shawnio]

isnt that one of the guys from starsky and hutch LOL

[@shawnio]

this is so weird, it looks like something that was on the BBC and then was americanized, is that a laugh track? WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON LOL

[@Rippypoo]

Well, this looks pretty stupid. And I can't believe how many sound effects they stole from Star Trek!

[@ShamrockParticle]

The sound effects were from a licensed library. Amazingly a lot of old star trek sounds were used in other shows until the 1999s. The show was definitely of it's time (late 70s, oh my!). scifi was still somewhat niche, Quark was ahead of its time in terms of parodying the genre, but didn't have enough material to really play with. Red Dwarf is the first that really gets it right.

[@Sophias_booktube]

I never heard of this.

[@firefly48342]

It had fewer episodes than Firefly

[@reyluna9332]

Feels like a fever dream.

[@bentonmarcum8924]

I can see why Tim Thomerson changed his name. He didn't want to be associated with this show. 😅

[@dcdad556]

The almost-like Star Trek theme music, ham acting from a very capable actor/director Richard Benjamin, writing from actor/scriptwriter Buck Henry and canned laughter. What could go wrong?

[@rgd963]

All the episodes are parody of Star trek episodes.

[@robd1488]

I'll do it🎉

[@peterhulse1064]

Yipes

[@paulducharme60oo]

How low a budget does it go? Even change the key of startreks theme.

[@theironclads]

Surprisingly unfunny considering the terrific Buck Henry was involved.

[@JamesTorti]

I never heard of this show, and I can understand why. I'll have to pass. Buck Henry did an excellent job on Get Smart.

[@MichaelKurse]

Oh God! the worst laugh track that underpins flat jokes.🤔😆😆😆😳

This show wasn't even humorous, much less funny.

Who is the actress playing Commander Black (the tall blonde)? She is unlisted in the credits and I cannot for the life of me seem to find her name anywhere.
