One of the most popular shows in the 90s, would Seinfeld be able to air today? Here are some descriptions of some most popular episodes:
The Merv Griffin Show: Synopsis: Kramer finds pieces of the old Merv Griffin show set in a dumpster and begins hosting a pretend talk show focusing on "scandals and animals." Jerry drugs his girlfriend so he can play with her vintage toy collection. Elaine's new co-worker is a sideler. George runs over a pigeon.
The Outing: Synopsis: Jerry and George are outed as a gay couple after a NYU reporter overhears a conversation at the diner.
The Limo: Synopsis: George and Jerry take a limo intended for a man named O'Brien, who turns out to be a neo-Nazi.
The Soap Nazi: Synopsis: Jerry, George, Kramer and Newman become obsessed with the new soup stand run by a mean chef who they dub the "Soup Nazi." Elaine, who was denied soup earlier for not ordering properly, gets revenge on the chef after discovering his recipes in an armoir and threatening to publish them.

IMO SJW "Thought Police" have been working tirelessly to close them again. :coffeepap:
Funny, I watched a YouTube segment by FBE on this very subject.
Here's how Teens and College kids reacted:
I think it would not go over too well currently. The premise was about openly selfish people and their antics.
Political Correctness and Identity Politics makes a virtue out of being offended, and has been killing comedy of all kinds over the last couple of decades.
Lenny Bruce and George Carlin opened the doors back in the 60's.

Too much political correctness these days, and thankfully we have liberal comedians and pundits, like Bill Maher and Lewis Black who are working hard to drag all that PC into the dumpster where it belongs.
For the record, one of my kids, my daughter, thinks Seinfeld is horrific, but my son thinks it's a laugh riot.
My daughter isn't consumed with PC but every once in a while it seeps in around the edges.
See, this is the amazing part about overt PC. In one lifetime, I've seen us go from George Carlin, Lenny Bruce, and Mario Savio, to overt political correctness. How did that happen?Funny, I watched a YouTube segment by FBE on this very subject.

Not to mention that the entire series as a whole was a veiled commentary on modern-day American antisemitism; a key satirical angle that goes way over everyone's head because it was never explicitly stated.
I may be a heretic here but I thought Seinfeld was mostly boring. And in that time it was something I would only watch if there was nothing and I do mean nothing out there on TV that was remotely non-boring.
But don't ask me about OK to air today, I am still a big fan of the young ones for example and compared to that Seinfeld is totally acceptable LOL.

Why wouldn’t it air? It’s in perpetual reruns.

All the Seinfeld episodes are playing daily in reruns and I have not heard a single complaint. So I guess that answers your question.
why do you think there would be a problem with new episodes if there’s no problems with old episodes?I am referring to being aired as new episodes.
I would guess this is Elizabeth Warren's favorite episode:

you just made Justin sad. Because of you, he will prolly need female constructive surgery.Why is so important that Jerry be loved by younger generations?
I doubt Justin Bieber cares if I dig his music.
