-end quote

yeah i missed  read the last hint i thought for sure it said mr t then i rushed to get here first the reread it i am not sure how i thought that said mr t

Wasn't there was a big fuss about monosodiium glutemate and its effects on health in the early/mid 90s?

Mr. Bean?

1970 1980 1990
1971 1981 1991
1972 1982 1992
1973 1983 1993
1974 1984 1994
1975 1985 1995
1976 1986 1996
1977 1987 1997
1978 1988 1998
1979 1989 1999

Hint - MSG and Mr. B. make for sick TV. 1985-1990
Hint - No years fit after some folks acquit. 1995
Hint - Stay far, far clear of the years before Hope first appears. 1977
Hint - The year Mego says "Uh oh" is a no-no. 1982/1983

My guess: 1987.

Ten years after Star Wars
Not during Mego's bankruptcy, executive fraud, and closure
Not after O.J. Simpson's acquittal
During the run of Mr. Belvedere (4th season)
Wrestle Mania I 1985 year has been eliminated but was in Madison Square Garden. Wrestle Mania II 1986 was on Madison Square Garden TV broadcast in Vapor's viewing area on TV rather than PPV but was not at Madison Square Garden but in other venues. Wrestle Mania III 1987 was also in other venues but was broadcast on MSGTV in Vapor's area and PPV elsewhere. Cage matches etc. were broadcast on MSGTV throughout the year.

Smack dab in the middle of the heyday of the yester-years of Retro Daze:

Ronald Reagan President of the US tells USSR's president Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall
The Unibomber was active
Iran-Contra affair
U2 Joshua Tree
1st Simpsons on the Tracy Ullman show
Michael Jackson's Bad album
Star Trek the Next Generation
This is your brain on drugs advertising
Spud Mackenzie
Who's the Boss
The Bangles Walk Like an Egyptian
Bon Jovi Livin' on a prayer
Tiffany I think we're alone now and Concert shopping mall tour of the US
Belinda Carlisle Heaven is a place on Earth
Microsoft Windows 2.0
Red M&Ms comeback after being absent for 11 years
NY Giants vs the Denver Broncos in the Superbowl
Minnesota Twins take the World Series
Nintendo Entertainment System hugely popular
GI*JOEs toys, cartoon, and movie
Transformers toys and cartoon
He-Man dwindling but still around cartoon, toys, and live action film

I was toying with 1987, but only because it was in Vapor's username..

Nope.

Wow.

I think we ran out of users to guess. I'll just keep waiting for clues..

You forgot that was the year when I was born

Perhaps Ajimbo and mass reality and fuschnikt could hazard a guess when they want to.
