Television projection of the waste hauler of the future was NBC's 1978 “Quark,” starring Richard Benjamin as Adam Quark, captain of an intergalactic garbage scow, and created by Buck Henry, co-creator of the TV spy spoof “Get Smart” (1966-70) and screenwriter for “The Graduate” (1968). “Quark” was a take-off of the 1977 film “Star Wars”.
