* During a Space Route scenario in ''VideoGame/ShinSuperRobotWars'', the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Londo Bell]] rescues [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Fonse Kagatie]] from imprisonment. He relates how the alien attack and [[TheStarscream Tassilo Vago's treachery]] brought about the end of the Zanscare Empire (just as [[Anime/MobileSuitVictoryGundam Lupe Cineau]] had said), ending in Tassilo bringing him here a prisoner. When the party tells him that Zanscare is still active, Fonse realizes that [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char Aznable]] must have taken control. [[AdaptationalHeroism Increasingly panicked, he tells the party they must stop Char before he achieves his misguided goal of robbing all mankind of its emotions, creating obedient soldiers as the aliens want]].

He'll be replaced by someone else (as yet unspecified), who may be less helpful to the main characters.
** His interim replacement turns out to be his immediate predecessor in the position, who is much more interested in keeping secrets than helping people (the letter of the law over the spirit of it in terms of the job description)

* Similar to (and possibly inspired by) the Discworld example below, season six of ''{{Supernatural}}'' reveals that [[spoiler: Crowley has taken over Hell, and transformed it from a place of eternal ''physical'' torment into a long, badly-lit corridor with a massive (as in >6,000,000,000 people long) queue - And what's at the front of the queue? The end of it again!]]

There are a lot of shows that focus on a place of business, and many of them get StrictlyFormula after a while and need a {{Retool}}. Sometimes a change of management can bring life back into an old show, or at least add conflict for awhile. Sometimes this is an excuse to introduce TheUmbridge. Sometimes this is an excuse to stick the heroes in charge.

This refers to permanent (or at least long enough for a story arch) change in management. When the boss being replaced is back by the end of the episode it's a {{Ten Minute Retirement}}.

* The fourth(?) season of ''{{Ellen}}'' featured the title character selling Buy the Book to a couple of hippie capitalists. They put a conservative guy (BruceCampbell) in charge and he brought a different style to the place. She wound up quitting when she sensed he was judging her sexuality.

* HappyDays hangout Arnold's was run by [[PatMorita Arnold]] and then by Al.
* What about the heroes taking over Wolfram and Hart on ''{{Angel}}''?
