    "Everybody Tells the Truth". Ron Glass is magnificent, playing 3 different character profiles.

              She probably got it back to Bob (the white guy).

                Everybody Tells the Truth
                was definitely a favorite episode. Ron Glass should of been arrested that day for stealing the show with his tremendous performance. I think that was the first and only time I've ever heard the word
                apple
                being used as a verb. I seriously would put that episode in my top 10 list possibly top five. As good as that episode is, my all time favorite
                All In The Family
                episode would definitely be
                Cousin Maude Visits
                Maude:
                That MAN had charisma!
                Archie:
                I don't care if he was sick!

                        The only real minor critique I had of the episode was the unnecessary awkward close ups of their mouths being shown

                          They must've included descriptions of their mouths in their recounts.

                            My minor critique with the episode was the way Glass laughed as the Uncle Tom character. A little over the top.

                              His performance of that part was supposed to be over the top; it was Mike's exaggerated description that was being acted out there.

                                I'm a big fan of rashomon episodes of sitcoms. They're usually my favorite episode of the series.
                                Mama's Family has an episode about Mama making gooseberry jam with Carol Burnett and Betty White. Eunice's recollection is my favorite. She turns to Naomi after Naomi says something air-headed, and Carol delivers a great slow burn, "Are you in there?"
                                Everybody Loves Raymond has an episode that involves a can opener. I like this one especially because I can never operate a can opener, especially if it doesn't create sharp edges. If I ever get tuna juice on me, I have to fight the urge to scream, "OH MY GOD. TUNA FISH!"
                                I Love Lucy is the earliest I remember. It's the one when Lucy and Ricky give Ethel and Fred a TV for their anniversary. Of course it breaks and they take it all the way to court!

                                  There's many shows that had episodes like that. Here is a few off the top of my head:
                                  Gilligan's Island's
                                  Diogenes, Won't You Please Go Home?
                                  The castaways recall their views of the Japanese WW2 soldier.
                                  Maude's
                                  The Case of the Broken Punch Bowl
                                  The characters recall through their side of the story on what happened.
                                  King Of The Hill's
                                  A Fire-fighting We Will Go
                                  The guys recall through their side of the story on how the fire department got burned down.
                                  Different Strokes'
                                  Rashomon II
                                  The characters give their sides of the story on how a burglar was foiled.
                                  I'm sure there's many more that I've overlooked

                                    I wasn't aware of what that term meant until I looked it up. I'm trying to think of other examples in classic TV.

                                      The Good Times ep "Where There's Smoke" was like that too.

                                        I never knew it was a term either. Interesting. And duely noted, Fletch about his laugh.

                                          I noticed that the last episode that Antenna will air on the Saturday Summer Marathon of Small Wonder is a rashomon episode.
