Quark: Quark (1977)
Think the worst episode of Get Smart mixed with Space Balls
In 1977 I was a HUGE sci fi fan. Star Wars had just come out and science fiction was all the rage. At the are of 13 I really wanted to like this show. I wanted it to be good. It was the lamest thing I had ever seen. The sluggish "comic timing" holding for laughs that would be put in later (wether or not the joke was funny), was deadly. It is just so weird a very respectable cast working so hard to make the lame writing work. It was all so derivative. I loved Star Wars and Star Trek they are great shows. There is however a lot of comic gold that could be mined from those great shows. Quark misses the mark by Billions and billions of light years!
Land of the Lost (1974)
Which Came First?
I started reading the comments in the hopes that someone would shed some light on the question: Which came first Sid and Marty Kroft's "Land Of The Lost" or Hanna Barberra's "Valley Of The Dinosaurs"? They are very similar. Modern family dealing with dinosaurs and cave men, Two kids a boy and a girl, somewhat preachy parents, everything working out in the end. They were both in 1974. You might say "well "Valley Of The Dinosaurs" must have come first because it was animated" but the fact is it was REALLY REALLY CRAPPY limited animation and "Land Of The Lost" had stop motion animation. So which one came first? and was one a copy of the other?
