History

The original variation of Galaxy Quest featured the same cast and characters, but had a western setting and was called West Quest the pilot was filmed but studio researchers insisted that westerns were no longer popular. The show was then re-imagined as a naval drama called Navy Quest.

However the studio was going into bankruptcy and they couldn't afford the high budget needed for a naval drama, but there was a significant number of props laying around from an older space movie, thus Galaxy Quest was born.
