Quark (1977) was a really fun show, but maybe it came out at the wrong time. Buck Henry created it as a loving sci-fi spoof, and it's gentle oddball comedy that plays with Star Trek in a fun way. It only made it to eight episodes before NBC canned it but it still has a loyal fan base.
Richard Benjamin is Quark, commanding a United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol ship which of course gets into several scrapes that frequently echo Star Trek plots. Tricia and Cyb Barnstable are The Bettys (one is a clone of the other but neither will admit to being the clone), Richard Kelton is the Spock-like sentient plant Ficus, there's a male/female engineer called Gene/Jean, their boss Palindrome reports to a massive floating head, etc.
Not everyone is a fan of laff tracks, and some of the gags go nowhere, but it's entertaining and silly and captures the sometimes oddball '70s look of TV science fiction (I'm looking at you here The Fantastic Journey!) The Bettys wouldn't be out of place in Buck Rogers two years later.
Anyone who has listened to my shows the last 10 years has heard me consistently predict this trend would happen. Every reason why CDs annihilated vinyl for decades when they came out still exists. The industry saw a huge cash grab to paint CDs as the archaic format and bury them. Because they could get $70 for a single album expanded to a double, remastered, etc. Now the swing back. Time to remind everyone how cool CDs are and always were. Cheap, digital, no wear, no flipping, no skips or pops, still cool packaging options, no needle, no cleaning, can rip into phone or computer and more . I have no issue with vinyl, but it was so obvious the play was to dump your “uncool” CDs, and buy the “cool” format of vinyl again at insane prices. Now comes the wave to get you to rebuy CDs. Unless you are an audio file with some incredible equipment , CD was always for a ton of reasons the superior format. And now comes the return. Called it for 10 years at least!
@therealmc92 I think I've got the winning hand. iMac 8.1, 4 GB of RAM, up and running. Using Hermes, I adjusted the video settings so there's no flickering with Electron apps. iMac early 2008!!!
@VeroSuk@recientire Yo voy desde la primera. Nadie pide que nos den la tinta, iríamos por nada. Es una reunión para vernos, conocer gente nueva de la afición, y disfrutar un rato. Pelikan lo único que hacía hasta ahora era darnos un regalo y nada más. Los hub máster se encargaban de todo
