SEINFELD question
I remember an episode where Kramer is running down the street with a Puerto Rican flag and it's on fire. After the episode the show got a lot of calls about it and the producers said they will never air that episode on t.v. again.
Is that from season 9 and is it on the dvd set?

Pretty sure it is included in the dvd.

It is included on the dvd. I watched it last week. Personally I think it's a very funny episode and always wanted to see it in syndication. There are numerous really funny parts of the episode. George and the laser pointer guy. George, Jerry and Kramer all making up fake names so they can use an apartment for various reasons. The maroon Golf jackass guy. There are some more too.

I thought I remembered hearing that people were upset with the episode not so much for the flag burning, but for showing the violent reaction of the largely Puerto Rican crowd.

isn't this the one where Elaine yells at the dog owner that the dog's ear is flipped inside out? I remember getting a kick out of that when I saw it. So true.

(And, BTW, I've been in NYC during the Puerto Rican Day Parade - it really does lock up the city and getting around is a virtual nightmare.)

I grew up with Puerto Ricans here in Chicago and it is a big deal to 90% of them.
So when I saw that episode it was more funny to me because I know how they must have felt. Glad to know it's on the dvd set and I will be picking it up when it's on sale for under $20.

"The Puerto Rican Day" wasn't the best episode of Seinfeld, but it should've been the story for "The Finale" episode (air "The Clip Show" -pt.1 & 2 first, than "The Puerto Rican Day" episode as the series finale).
Like I said, it wasn't the best episode of Seinfeld, but it reminded me of earlier seasons. The story was about "nothing" and getting caught in traffic during a parade happens to people. It wasn't the best episode from the ninth season, but it was a strong episode, however.
Kramer posing as H.E. Pennypacker just so he could go to the bathroom was "classic" Seinfeld, IMO.

Hilarious.

Puerto Rican Day is one of my faves from the post-David Seins. It's also EASILY Top 5 from the final season, which included such crap as "The Strongbox" and "The Maid," two of the worst episodes the show ever produced.
