I loved Kitchen Nightmares for exactly that reason. Spent a long time in restaurant work (never for a small business tyrant, but corporate restaurants managers can be petty dictators also) and seeing an authority figure come in and excoriate the people in charge and directly tell them that their failures were their fault alone and not due to their overworked employees being incompetent or lazy or whatever was so cathartic.

I never worked for a restaurant, but watching that, I always wanted to have a foul-mouthed, highly respected Scottish chef yell at my bosses.
