In the opening credits, Doug and Carrie are wrestling on the ground, Arthur's strolling by behind them, and there are the Unisphere and the saucers in the background. Cool to finally see where these were located! I’m surprised to see no mention of The King of Queens (Kenan and Kel?).

Pardon my 1990s geekiness. I suspect the kenan and Kel version was much smaller... My memory of the starting sequence is hazy, however.

In this image you can see the SunSphere, about all that is left of the fair.

This eventually came crashing down on Nelson, Millhouse, and Bart’s rented car. And it was parodied on the Simpsons as the Wig-o-Sphere.

You can't really see it, but there are two towers with observation decks on top of them. These doubled as the flying saucers in that scene in Men in Black.
