Quark Everyone involved was shocked that 'Quark' didn't catch on, but the network simply fell back on their contention that science-fiction doesn't work on television.

STARTREK.COM : Biography Quark was a co-indicted in 2362 by the Romulans as the middleman with alien thief Fallit Kot for hijacking a Romulan ale shipment, but testified against Kot and got off — barely escaping with his life eight years later here at DS9 when Kot was released. Quark, the Ferengi barkeeper, is a self-important con artist who's nowhere near as clever as he thinks he is. His bar is a center for scams and illegal dealings. Quark knows at least the worst of human history, and while he speaks out against superior Terran attitudes, he can be as racist as anyone. www.startrek.com /startrek/view/series/DS9/character/1112445.html   (655 words)

TV Comedy - Funny Queer or Funny Ha Ha? More notable was Quark (1978), which was a short-lived American comedy SF series starring Richard Benjamin as the captain of a galactic garbage scow. The most memorable character from Quark, however, remains the transmute character, Gene/Jean, a person with the same number of male and female chromosomes and who was therefore half man and half woman. Probably the earliest science fiction/fantasy television series to contain some elements of tongue-in-cheek comedy was the British series, The Avengers (1961 - 1969) starring Patrick Macnee as John Steed, Honor Blackman as Cathy Gale and Diana Rigg as Emma Peel. www.spacedoutinc.org /DU-15/TVComedies.html   (2111 words)

The Great Link : Interview, Armin Shimerman (Quark, DS9) - UK Star Trek / Cult TV Web Site and Home of the Founders So I was completely taken by surprise when I discovered that Quark gets a chance to revert back to who he was at the beginning of the series, and that there had been an arc happening and I just hadn't been aware of it. Quark is naturally going to have become acclimatised to the ethics that have come from the Federation, the Bajorans and from the people who passed through his bar. But [after the events of the series' finale] I'd like to see the conflict between his new home and his new ethics and his old home and their ethics, and how he deals with that and the pressures it must cause. www.greatlink.org /showtglinterview.asp?id=87   (1384 words)

: : Speak Up > Quark Reloaded : : Since Quark is the latest to the hip shape party, it is easy, and expected, for some of the holders of these logos to be concerned of plagiarism and condemn Quark for “stealing” their logo. Quark is not stealing anyone’s logo — despite claims on forums like The Designers Network — they are simply putting intention behind a geometric shape — not much different from a circle, a square or a triangle — that anyone could use. In Quark’s case, it’s different: It has a reason for being — a modest and literal reason perhaps — it’s an abstract “Q”, it translates. www.underconsideration.com /speakup/archives/002412.html   (1384 words)

Quark NBC heavily promoted it[remember their "What Is A Quark?" campaign?]but they has the misfortune to run it during the winter of 1978 during which ice storms caused power outages over half the US which may have also attributed to the early cancellation. QUARK lasted 8 episodes, but with the pilot there are a total of 9. Now, I could handle missing the odd episode of the Muppet Show, but missing Quark was just more than any 7 year old kid could bare. www.jumptheshark.com /q/quark.htm   (1384 words)

Quark - Nostalgia Central Quark first appeared as a pilot in 1977 (with a different cast) and debuted as a TV series in February 1978 with a one hour special. It is 2222 AD and Commander Adam Quark (a very 70s Richard Benjamin) is head of an interplanetary garbage crew whose mission on behalf of the United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol is to clean up the Milky Way. But the series was intended first and foremost as a spoof on space adventure epics. www.nostalgiacentral.com /tv/space/quark.htm   (1384 words)

Quark series on DVD Petition The Quark series on DVD Petition to SciFi Fans was created by General Public and written by James Smith. We, the fans of the 1978 NBC SciFi Comedy series Quark, ask Columbia Tristar and the owners of the series to consider releasing the series on DVD and VHS formats.

Amazon.com: Software: QuarkXpress 6.0 Quark has set up a monstrous procedure where you must call them or attempt at their website to activate the software, which can force you to wait 2 to 3 days before you can use it. It was the Mac community that built the Quark company yet they have quickly abandoned their client in the search for new fields in the PC sea. Quark 6 does do multiple undos, for which it deserves kudos; however, it's maddening to find out that not all actions are undoable. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0000A1GPA/kreatiweb-20   (1384 words)

Science Fiction TV Series - first edition The remainder are borderline genre series whose inclusion was requested by readers of the first edition, plus a couple of old American series which were produced about 40 years ago but never broadcast.

Cultural Biases Against Libertarianism In the TV Series "Star Trek Deep Space Nine," one of the few businesspeople in the series is a large-eared, sharp-toothed character named Quark. Quark is a greedy little rascal who lives by a list of "Rules of Acquisition," all centered around "profit." Why would the makers of this series want to portray one of their minority businesspeople like this? In the movie that's a 90's update of the 50's TV series "The Fugitive," the source of all evil is a huge drug company making billions of dollars off drugs that kill people instead of healing them. www.allmax.com /wea/liberty/culture.html   (672 words)

Pythonography and Pythonism The short series contained six parts and told the story of Lacrobat (John Cleese) stealing the quark-bomb. All the series were a loose compilation of Monty Python sketches glued together by a running gag which often carried on into and beyond the credits. Although the different series are easy to tell apart, they are all of equal qualtity. bau2.uibk.ac.at /sg/python/Sources/Pythonography.html   (1829 words)

Sci-Fi Helper - Comments about various Sci-Fi TV Series There are only some series that really got to me to the point that I could not wait anymore for the next episode, I would have done anything to be there with them and become part of their team, and they are Star Trek The Next Generation. Even their Director Skinner is essential to the series and perhaps even the Cigarette man though he became too much of a cliché as a smoker/baddy. I am sorry, I am sure they have huge fan bases and that they are great series, but it does not fall in my primary definition of science fiction which is science that could become fact in the future, and this needs to be discussed in the series. www.themarginal.com /scifitvseries.htm   (8739 words)

Little Green Men This is the kind of episode that a TV series can get away with doing exactly once, and in this case the timing was perfect: after a series of serious dramatic episodes, before yet another installment in an ongoing series of Big Alien Battles. In a rare follow-up to a previous time-tampering episode, Nog notices that Gabriel Bell is a dead ringer for Sisko; Quark scoffs, "All humans look alike." Rom's technobabble in the shuttle and Quark's blank stare were a riot, as were Quark's pithy comments about the stupidity of cigarette smoking and atomic bombsy. The switches to human point of view for the initial attempts to communicate via mimicry and the subsequent conclusion that Quark must be the female of the family unit - "And she's a shrew" - were very effective. www.littlereview.com /getcritical/ds9reviews/greenmen.htm   (507 words)

GALACTICA.TV - James Horan In the first episode, titled "Suspicions", he was "Jo'Bril", a type of alien never before seen on the series, a rather lizard-like fellow called a Takaran. His second "STNG" episode was the opener of the series' final season: "Descent, Part II". Having proven his singing talents in several musicals, James was approached while laboring in the TV suds factory to create a selection of songs for a cabaret act, which he has performed in both New York and L.A. at various clubs. www.galactica2003.net /cast/horan.shtml   (1736 words)
