A Masterpiece!

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Lasting only Six episodes, this is another attempt at doing SF-Comedy. It has some funny ideas, like the cloned twins and hermaphrodite crewman, but altogether, it just isn't that funny.

I guess it was just too soon after Star Wars craze to begin satirizing it, but that is what Quark did (tho we took it more as a Star Trek parody).But unlike most parodies today, from Airplane on, you had to watch the original to appreciate (and understand!) the satire.Quark wasn't so much like that. You could watch the program and follow it and enjoy it, then if you caught one of the 'original' programs, you might understand what the joke was now from Quark.Unlike Airplane or Vampires Suck or these Teen Slasher Movie Parodies, in which you have to have seen something of the other movie. Yes.But back to Quark. We liked it to begin with. I've always thought about this show (I even remember Ficus wasn't there all the time. In the pilot, it was an elderly scientist).Rather surprised to see the pilot was half an hour, and the other episodes are an hour. I think I remember that. Actually one episode on the DVD set seems to run an hour, the episode with the Source, then the show returns to being a half hour. The Source ep isn't divided into two parts, like the other two parter is. I haven't watched all the episodes yet. Again, it does seem I recall all this mucking about with the show. I think the laugh track might vanish in a couple of episodes as well, suggesting the show wasn't certain if it wanted to be a comedy or dramedy.Still it was a good show. This was about the first place I saw Benjamin. If at that time I had seen Westworld, I didn't realize it was the same actor.He's kind of a smoothed over, serious Tony Randall, isn't he? Watching this, I couldn't help but notice similarities in Tim Thomerson to Jim Carrey and Conrad Janis to Billy Crystal.

I watched the first run of Quark and later saw a couple episodes on The Comedy Channel. Richard Benjamin was great and the twin gals were babes. I hope it'll be aired again or released on Rhino Video or something. Other Sci-Fi to watch: Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy, Red Dwarf.

This was an excellent satire program of Sci-Fi in general and traditional "Space Operas" in particular. Should you ever happen to run across the odd episode of Quark, be prepared for laughs in the extreme.Quark tells the tale of an inter-galactic garbage hauler and his crew of misfits as they find adventures well outside of their normal duties. The humor, though rooted in the cultural strangeness of the 70s, will be very entertaining to adults who remember the 70s as "the good old days". Quark poked fun at most popular culture of the era and the Science Fiction of the day was not spared. Star Wars and Buck Rogers were almost constant targets of jabs and pokes. Even the venerated Star Trek series was humorously taken to task on occasion.Tragically, it was cut short by circumstances of weather. The entire midwestern US was crippled by power outages during the worst ice storm in US history. The resulting loss of rating points cost it dearly.
