yeah iirc they never air that episode on nbc, again, back then or on cable tv now. Do you agree with not airing that episode?

It's by far the worst episode in the series so I agree with them not airing it

Nope, and I probably never saw it if they don't air it on TV anymore.

Because of controversy surrounding a scene in which Cosmo Kramer accidentally burns and then stomps on the Puerto Rican flag, NBC apologized 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.
Oh, that's a rather lame reason to be controversial, tbh.

Kramer's a klutz and a bit of an idiot and accidentally lit it on fire. I don't think there was any offense intended. Then again I think there was some questionable stereotypical joke made as well wasn't there?

Never got why people hated it. It's not the best, but not the worst. It has the scene with the guys' various alter egos and it's pretty damn good.

I honestly didn't think it was a very good episode but it wasn't just because a flag got burned on accident. It made the dvd release. I should watch it again but all I remember is the gang being stuck in traffic and well the flag of course.

Nah the worst episode is the lone episode with a different transitional tune than what every other episode has. You guys know what im talking about?

The episode itself isn't bad, the soundtrack is just jarring

I remember we went on an end of the school year field trip the day after that episode aired, and we went to like the aquarium or something, and the tour guide referenced that episode, and I said I watched that last night

Flag worship will never not be weird and cultish to me.

People literally care more about their nation's flag than their nation's citizens.

^ Hey now that's completely unfair!

hmm, I remember george using the fake name, but don't remember the flag stuff at all. I don't think I've seen this one.

I checked out the clip because it was easier than putting in the dvd. That is very funny H.E Pennypecker, Art Vandelay and Branson (or whatever fake name Jerry used) were all in the same place. Forgot that happened.
