I been watching “Seinfeld” for years over and over again. I would watch the repeats of it at night. I was sure I had seen all of the shows.
I been watching “Seinfeld” on Hulu since they put it online. I got about three or four more to watch and I will have seen all of them.
I just saw one that I have never seen again; “The Puerto Rican Day.”
“The Puerto Rican Day” is the 176th episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It aired on May 7, 1998, and was the 20th episode of the ninth and final season. It was the show’s second-highest-rated episode of all time, with 38.8 million viewers, only behind the series finale. The episode aired one week before the two-part clip show and the two-part series finale aired. Because of controversy surrounding a scene in which Cosmo Kramer accidentally burns and then stomps on the Puerto Rican flag, NBC was forced to apologize and had it banned from airing on the network again. Also, it was not initially part of the syndicated package. In the summer of 2002, the episode started to appear with the flag-burning sequence intact.
This episode of Seinfeld has more writer credits (ten) than any other episode. As co-creator Larry David was returning to write the finale, this was the final episode for the active “after Larry David” writing staff and thus was a group effort.
“The Puerto Rican Day” was a rare late-series return to a “plot about nothing” style, filmed in real-time, more commonly seen in early seasons (such as “The Chinese Restaurant“).
