- Played Straight: Series X improves greatly because Bob is given more screen time.
- Exaggerated: The show turns from a So Bad it's Horrible show to the greatest show ever made when Bob is given more screen time.

- Justified: A change in the execution of a series can be just what it needs to be refreshed.

- Averted:
- No changes are made to the story or characters.
