I believe Sue's right.  Last month, I was at a friend's house watching some
videotapes that someone else had brought, and on one of them was "Quark".
(I remember the show because I have the theme on audio tape.  By the way,
someone else said that the Quark theme was the Star Trek theme backwards.
Can anyone with a reel-to-reel confirm this?) I was surprised when I saw
"Created by Buck Henry" in the episode's opening titles.

Also, I remember Buck Henry making many guest appearances on SNL (remember
Uncle Roy?).  Also, I believe Richard Benjamin (and his wife, Paula Prentice)
were the guests at one time or another.  Did she (Paula) ever appear on
"Quark"?  And whatever happened to the Bettys?
