the puerto rican flag

Is it true that Jerry made an open apology to this ethnic group and this episode was never aired again? I have never seen it aired on any repeat.

Any info..

Hey, thanks for the information.

Tonight was another great episode.. Jerry buys back the caddy from Jack K. and Peterman comes back to work, much to Elaine's dismay..and Kramer cant sleep with his gfriend after sex, cause she has the jimmy legs...hahahahahahaha

Nothing better than Seinfeld!!

Hey Jill I saw "The Money" last night also,good episode. Are you in the NYC area?

HowlingBat

Hi Howling :) I am in the Boston area, actually. The redsox keep taking Seinfeld's time slot so it was on a 1/2 hour earlier tonight and I missed it. I wish it were on at 11pm also, like it used to be.

I need a seinfeld marathon right away!

Jill C.

Seinfeld is on at 11pm here but sometimes the yankee game runs long and seinfeld doesnt come on till late. As far as a seinfeld marathon goes...im having a marathon of my own downloading episodes from KaZaA. I watch like three episodes a day now...cant get enough.

HowlingBat

Hey Howling, I have an awesome cd/screen saver on my pc at my office. It is only the first two seasons, but it shows little clips of all the episodes and it is great way to keep work a little fun. Of course I need to keep the volume off... George talkin' bout shrinkage, and Elaine talking about a circumcized versus non circum...wouldnt go over to well with my boss... lol

I do not know what KaZaA is? splain please... :)

ok.. off to sleep. Wish Seinfeld was on!

Jill C.

ok first you need a high speed connection(cable, DSL). If you dont then forget about KaZaA, but if you do then go to kazaa.com and download the program, install it and you'll be able to search for audio & video files and more.

KaZaA works better than WinMX or iMesh for Seinfeld episodes I think. In a few weeks I have downloaded more episodes with KaZaA then I did with iMesh or WinMX in a few months!

With a beer and Seinfeld, a day can not be more satisfying...

I dislike the times when Seinfeld is on here in Holland: Normally, it's from monday till wensday, but last week it also was on sunday. How the hell can I follow that?!?!

George: What is Holland?

Jerry: What do you mean what is it, it's a country right next to Belgium.

George: No, thats the Netherlands.

Jerry: Holland is the Netherlands.

George: Then who are the Dutch!?

I know, I know :p

It keeps following us till death :-)

IIRC: The presence of Germanic tribes has been attested in the area covered by the Netherlands since the second century before Christ, when they were taking part in a migration towards the west. This was part of the so-called "Wandering of the Nations" which reached its peak between the third and fifth centuries AD. The first written source to cover the area of the modern Netherlands and Belgium is the book De bello gallico ["On the Gallic Wars"] by Julius Caesar. Caesar and the Romans invaded Gaul in 57 BC and then went on to conquer the provinces of the Netherlands. For 500 years this region was an outpost of the Roman Empire; Caesar met mostly Celtic tribes here. With the Romans rose towns and a network of roads. The Romanisation continued systematically, but the Romans never managed to impose their culture completely on the indigenous Germanic tribes. In the year 406 AD the Germans invaded Gaul. The Franks followed the river Scheldt towards the south. As a result there was an extensive bilingual area occupied by Gallo-roman natives and Frankish invaders. After the collapse of the Roman Empire (476 AD) there rose a number of tribal empires, of which the Frankish Empire became the most important. This was the work of Clovis (Chlodwig) from the dynasty of the Merovingians. He moved the borders of his empire to the south of France and made Paris his capital. The Scheldt boundary, which since 925 AD separated West and East Francia, was already by that time the boundary between the Celtic tribes and the Roman civitates. West Francia rapidly disintegrated, thanks to the increasing feudal powers. From the ninth century onwards it was no longer the Carolingians who were crowned as king but the dukes of Francia. At the same time the power of the counts of Flanders increased. In the German Empire, in the meantime, the Carolingians had died out and in 919 AD the empire passed into the hands of Henry I (Duke of Saxony). Under his successors Otto I, II and III (until 1002 AD) the Holy Roman Empire was restored here. Emperor Otto the Great (936-973 AD) managed to establish his authority and set up bishops as his tenants; since, in the normal course of events, bishops were not allowed to inherit anything, they formed reliable pillars of support for his authority. Between 800 and 1100 AD the recognition of a common "German" language grew within the East-Frankish empire. The Franks, who had a dominant position in the empire, had been able to raise their own language to the status of leading language right from the eighth century. The "theodisca lingua" is first mentioned in texts in 788 AD, and was also spoken in the Netherlands. In the fourth century the Western Goths were to be found on the Balkan peninsula, and the Eastern Goths to the north of the Black Sea. During the Wandering of the Nations in the fifth century the Western Goths moved on to the southern France and Spain, where the established an empire which lasted until the eighth century. The Eastern Goths set up their own empire in Italy in 493 under king Theoderic the Great (born 455, reigned 493-526) which lasted until the sixth century. In both empires the Gothic tongue gradually disappeared and the languages of the original inhabitants prevailed. In the Crimea a form of Gothic was still spoken until the 18th century by the remnants of the Eastern Goths, but since then the language has died out completely. (see also Van Bree, 1977: 27f) Apart from numerous runic inscriptions the oldest preserved Gothic text - in fact the oldest in any Germanic language - is the "Wulfila Bible" from the fourth century. Wulfila (311-383), also known as Ulfilas, was a Western Gothic bishop who translated the bible from Greek for the benefit of his converted Goths. Only part of this bible translation has survived, comprising three quarters of the New Testament and part of Nehemia from the Old Testament, both in manuscripts from the sixth century. The most important and attractive of these manuscripts is the Codex Argenteus (see illustration), with lettering in silver and gold, which was probably created in northern Italy for Theoderic the Great. (see also Van Bree 1995: 5-13) ) At present it is preserved in the University Library in Uppsala, Sweden. Wulfila was perhaps the first person to put any Germanic language, let alone Gothic, into writing. To this end he compiled an alphabet with letters which he borrowed mainly from Greek. He also used some Germanic runic letters and some Latin letters. One problem for Wulfila was that there simply did not exist Gothic words for some of the biblical terms and concepts. He therefore extended the vocabulary in several ways: . . .

But actually it was the Phoenecians who. . . . . .

But is the Puerto Rican Day episode being aired in syndication?

It's never been reran in the US at all. As far as Jerry making an apology to Puerto Rican people, i doubt it.

Why was there such a fuss?

I have seen it and did not get any anti-puerto rican "vibe"

It was recently aired on TV over here in the UK (can't remember if it was Sky One or Paramount)

Are you Puerto Rican?

No. I just want to know if there was a specific incident which was found to be offensive, or if it was the episode in general.

No, but I'd like to see if my shark tank fits in :)

Because a P.R. flag was set on fire and it burned.  If it was an American flag
it may have upset some people.    Basically, I think it was "such a fuss"
because people like to have something to complain about!   It was always all in
fun.
