A week before the series finale of Seinfeld originally aired on NBC, "The Puerto Rican Day" episode aired. It featured Kramer accidentally lighting a Puerto Rican flag on fire then stomping on it. 10 days ago TVLine had an article about this, after backlash NBC banned it from appearing in syndication for at least four years. I don't recall ever seeing this episode locally or otherwise, are there markets that still ban it? And do Comedy Central and TVLand, Seinfeld's current cable channels, air Puerto Rican Day? After the TVLine article I sent Preston Beckman an email asking about this, but he never responded.

TBS aired it when they had the rights. It seems like it's not part of the rotation on Comedy Central or TV Land.

There's a thread on Reddit about Comedy Central not airing it.
