It takes place in the years:
We know this because Ted says, "It's the '90s, times are changing." So it's some time after January of 1990 AD and some time before December of 1999 AD.
It takes place in the years:
1993 AD - 1994 AD
We know this because Ted says, "It's the '90s, times are changing." So it's some time after January of 1990 AD and some time before December of 1999 AD.
More specifically, in season one episode one "Just Say Yes" while looking for an alibi John Bennett says to Ted, 'Alright. This is my allowance for the month. If dad asks where it went, we bought tickets to see "Schindler's List".' The film "Schindler's List" (1993) released in theaters on December 15th, 1993 AD in the real world. So it is probably mid December of 1993 AD.
Furthermore, both the opening narration of season one episode one "Just Say Yes" declares ..."but now it's 1993 and, like every phenomenon, eventually nobody gives a shit." and the first shot of "Just Say Yes" includes a time and place setting subtitle that reads "Framingham, Massachusetts 1993".
Later, during season one episode seven "He's Gotta Have It", the season finale, John and Bethany Borgwat see news coverage of the former football player and murderer O.J. Simpson chased by police after he resisted arrest, which happened in the real world on June 17th, 1994 AD. So the season ends in June of 1994 AD.
Additionally, season one episode seven "He's Gotta Have It" includes a flashback to John's parents Susan and Matty in high school and they see news coverage of the real-world resignation speech of United States of American President Richard M. Nixon, which occurred on August 8th, 1974 AD. So it is August of 1974 AD at this point.
