A Rash of ‘Rashomon’
- Share via
Howard Rosenberg compliments the second episode of “Everything’s Relative” for venturing “beyond formulaic lines with ‘Rashomon’-like flashbacks” (“ ‘Everything’s Relative’ Stumbles as It Treads Comedy’s Low Road,” April 6).
I’m curious if it ventures beyond formulaic lines in the manner of the “Happy Days” episode with “Rashomon”-like flashbacks, the “Diff’rent Strokes” episode with “Rashomon”-like flashbacks, the “Mama’s Family” episode with “Rashomon”-like flashbacks, or the “Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper” episode with “Rashomon”-like flashbacks.
I hear rumors that the third episode of “Everything’s Relative” ventures even further beyond the formulaic with a plot where someone overhears the tail end of a conversation and misinterprets it with wacky consequences.
