Oh shit, how could I forget!?
Bill fucking Nye.
The entire show was filmed in Seattle. Back when I was eight, my dad ran a whole chain of buffets along the west coast. They were doing an episode on fruit, and had rented out one of my dad's buffets in the city to shoot at, and my brother and I got to skip school to watch them film it. Got his autograph and a picture with him. He invited us to a later shooting at the actual studio they shot everything at, too.
We showed up to this standard office with a reception desk down in the warehouse district in this building that looked totally inconspicuous. They told us to go through a door when the red light turned off, and when we walked in, holy shit; the entire Bill Nye laboratory you see in a shitload of episodes right in front of us. We just stood behind the cameras for three hours and watched them film, then he gave us a tour.
Man, I wish I remembered more of that.
