Seinfeld is making waves again because of its arrival on the Netflix streaming platform. The classic ’90s show has spent some time in limbo after being a fixture on Hulu for a few years, but now fans can watch the show about nothing in all its glory.
Seinfeld was easily my favorite show as a kid, and while it may have pushed some boundaries as to what topics were suitable for prime time television, it was widely lauded for the clever storylines that often took the mundane and made it funny. One episode, for example, involves the cast waiting for a table at a Chinese restaurant. I used to tape episodes on VHS and watch them during season breaks, and they never got old. To have the entire show on streaming is a pure joy of convenience. I’m sure I binged the show once during its stint on Hulu, and will probably go through it again now that it’s on Netflix—though who knows how long that will take.
Perhaps one of the best shows of all time, it was also produced during that glorious era before wokeness destroyed everything. So, in honor of Seinfeld’s debut on Netflix, I’ve compiled ten episodes that couldn’t be made to today,
This episode has been offending the snowflakes since it aired. When Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer get stuck in traffic because of the Puerto Rican Day Parade, they abandon their car and get into all sorts of hijinks, and the episode ends with Kramer accidentally igniting and stomping on a Puerto Rico flag, causing an uproar. NBC had to apologize for the episode after it aired. Frankly, I’m surprised that Netflix didn’t simply exclude the episode from their service.

Went to the link but there’s no article there.
George tells his black boss he looks like Sugar Ray Leonard, which makes his boss think George is racist. “I suppose we all look alike to you,” he tells him, which prompts George to set out to prove he’s not by trying to find a black friend, which he can’t. He resorts to recruiting the man who exterminated Jerry’s apartment in an earlier episode. Episodes like this call attention to the lack of diversity of the core cast, which would make the show “too white” for the woke audiences of today.
I know of the program and I’ve seen clips but I have never seen a full episode.
Click bait by PJ media. To read the article you must pay for the subscription. I guess I can’t click on PJ media articles anymore.

If these light-hearted episodes really are going to erased, then this whole politically correct censorship thing has gone way too far.
There’s a million click bait articles with this name.
And Seinfeld has been on TV multiple times free everyday for decades.
Hubby said the price for Netflix and Seinfeld to get together was enormous. I wonder if Bannon still is raking in $$ from Seinfeld syndication.
My favorite was the AIDS walk where Cosmo refuses to wear the ribbon.
Thanks for the conservative dispatch link.
Seinfeld had a lot of hilarious politically incorrect stuff in it, sometimes well disguised...
More political but down the same line as your train of thought.
“And Seinfeld has been on TV multiple times free everyday for decades.”
Are you talking about the reruns with commercials every 5 minutes?
