Line 105:
** Something of a subversion, too, since he rescued [[The Captain|Picard]] and [[Out-Gambitted]] the Cardassians (a race that has [[Magnificent Bastard]] as [[Planet of Hats|their hat]]). Picard even said he'd be keeping a lot of Jellico's changes.
* An episode of ''[[The Suite Life of Zack and Cody]]'' had Mr. Mosbey fired and replaced by a Tyrant. It was all back to normal by the end of the episode.
* Admiral Cain from [[Battlestar Galactica (2004 TV series)|the remade ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined]]'' series]] is a serious-as-cancer tyrant. {{spoiler|Her concept of pragmatism involves a lot more "execution of un-useful civilians" than Adama's. Fortunately she's taken down before she gets to try this out with her newfound fleet. There's also the matter of her sanctioning the long and brutal torture of a Cylon captive who was once her girlfriend}}.
* In ''[[The Wire]]'' Lt. Marimo does this in the fourth season. In a bit of genre-savviness, the bosses who sent him to the unit did so specifically to disrupt the unit, not because they believed he would be a good boss.
* In ''[[Porridge]]'' (episode ''Disturbing the Peace''), Mackay is sent away, only to be replaced by the sadistic Napper Wainwright.
