I haven't seen this episode since it originally aired. I'm watching it on Fox here in NYC.
Puerto Rican Day parade episode on right now
Fans discuss the Puerto Rican Day Parade episode airing on Fox, noting it rarely airs and debating whether it's the worst or second-worst episode of the series.

Me too. I thought this episode was never going to be shown again?

That was the first time I've seen it. Undoubtedly the worst Seinfeld ever, IMHO.
Second worst. The last finale takes the cake for me.
I thought the eposide was one of the best. Espically ay the end when they all meet in the appartment. I thought it was great

What did you think of the second-to-last finale?
^^^^^^ "Art is often hailed as the grandest expression of human spirit, but we know now ... that the grandest expression of human spirit is whatever it takes for a man or woman to rush back into a burning building to save more people."
It is so easy to take a subway in New York City than mess with traffic or cabs, that it was annoying to watch for me. Also, Elaine finally taking a cab to be blamed for it going down that street made no sense. In traffic jams everything is jammed. This show was out of character for the rest of the Seinfeld series to me.
But you are right, the best part of it was the scenes in the apartment. I wished they spent more time there.

Check the writing credits for it. There are so many writers for that episode that it takes up three screens during the opening credits. There are a total of *10* writers credited.
10 writers for 20 minutes of show can't be good.

El Seinfeldos,
NO it is good! This is how the Friends episodes are written at least (and like it or not, they are mostly well written).
They each get into the flavour of the episode, and can bounce ideas off each other, each chipping away at a more refined version.
Why was this episode 'banned' too much racial tension?
There was nothing really to speak of in the episode...
Thanks
The Double Dipper.
I agree. It is amazing that even the worst Seinfeld show is still far better than most sitcoms.

I've just viewed this for the first time after hearing so much about it. Very disappointing on the whole, but the apartment scenes made it worth watching.

Agreed, the best parts came in the apartment (and hearing Bob Murphy's voice), although the stuff with the guy in the other car wasn't terrible. But the George and Elaine subplots were just dreadful (especially George's). I can't believe it took *TEN* writers to come up with this episode.
That being said, I'm glad it's back on the air again. The censorship of the episode was stupid to begin with.
