Can anyone tell me the name of the episode where the group is going to a game, then they're stuck in traffic because of the parade.

You must mean "The Puerto Rican Day" and they are actually coming home from a game. This is the episode that the Puerto Rican community leaders found a good excuse to flex their political power so they put l pressure on NBC to never show it again. Instead of getting into a debate or conflict with the group, which is what these groups want for publicity reasons, NBC agreed and so far they haven't shown it again in the USA. Perhaps it will be shown outside the US.

        ** Yes, in Israel where Dor & I live, it's treated like any
           other episode.  The stuff that's rerun is exactly what was
           broadcast the first time around.  We get the original actor
           playing George's father and everything.  (Hey, subtitling
           is expensive; who would bother doing it a second time?)

We've seen it in the UK, but only once. It will probably be a very long time before we see it again due to the other Seinfeld channels being on Season 4/5/6.

In Australia it was treated as a "Seinfeld Classic Episode" and shown at 8.30 pm. I taped it at the time and have seen it many times. But nowhere in it do I see anything offensive. I had no idea down here that the episode caused such a fuss. Where there similar protests by anti-censorship groups against its policy?

No, it is not fashionable to fight the Politically Correct terrorists. One is then branded as a racist even if it is the 'policy' one is protesting and not 'the group'.

They thought the offensive part was Kramer's stomping on the burning flag to extinguish it.

I love that episode. Isn't that the one where some guy is bugging George with a laser pen in his face. Doesn't Kramer or Jerry say that if it happened to go between his eye and his sunglasses, it would keep bouncing back and fourth. Maybe I just dreamt that part.

no you didn't dream it. It was the guy who interrupted George's hindenburg disaster 'joke' (That's gotta hurt!)

Well, I guess it takes all sorts. I had no idea NBC is that gutless. It wouldn't happen here. Though what pisses me off is that wherever it is playing, the responsible networks cut bits out to fit in more commercials. It's funny to watch two identical episodes on separate tapes recorded in different countries and spot the differences. Sometimes entire scenes are cut out.

Close...actually it's "The Puerto Rican Day" taking place at the Puerto Rican day parade...that was a pretty funny episode, too bad we may never see it in syndication...
