Gosh, I can't imagine why this sci-fi/comedy just happened to come out in 1977!

Was there a movie released that year that might have encourage the creation of a science fiction series set in space? Hmmm? Confused

Naw, that's probably not the reason. Rolling Eyes

The show came out in 77, the pilot was broadcast in 76.

Well, that blows my theory that it was Star Wars inspired, like Battlestar Galactica. Sad

________________________________

It's ironic that the humorous premise for this show has now become something supremely important to mankind's exploration of space!

Earth is surrounded by a veritable barrier of orbiting space junk — millions of objects, some as small as pebbles, others much larger. This cloud of space trash threatens our vital satellites, as well as our spacecraft during near-orbit or outbound missions.

Here's how Wikipedia describes Quark.
________________________________

The show was set on a United Galaxy Sanitation Patrol Cruiser, an interstellar garbage scow operating out of United Galaxies Space Station Perma One in the year 2226. Adam Quark, the main character, works to clean up trash in space by collecting "space baggies" with his trusted and highly unusual crew.
________________________________

Eventually we'll have to clean up the mess we've created, either with automated spacecraft or with manned missions. In fact, we'll probably need to use a combination of the two.

This looks like a job . . . for Space Force!

UFO actually did an episode about space junk and the aliens using it to attack earth while hidden! At the end of the episode it was agreed that this junk needed to be cleared away in order to prevent future accidents and further alien sabotage upon the earth!
