*** Every active Power Ranger team on Earth works together to liberate their planet from the alien invasion, and then direct their attention to the wider cosmos to battle monsters and rescue refugees from other worlds. According to Billy, the alien refugees on Earth are settling in New Tech City, the setting for ''Series/PowerRangersSPD''. ''SPD'' was released in 2005, but set in 2025. Now that the show has nearly caught up to the 20MinutesIntoTheFuture date it set, this is used to explain how the Earth went from being a nearly all-human planet to an intergalactic melting pot.

*** Every active Power Ranger team on Earth works together to liberate their planet from the alien invasion, invasion offscreen.

Once the Earth is saved, the offscreen veteran Rangers direct their attention to the wider cosmos to battle monsters and rescue refugees from other worlds.

** ''Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury'' is simultaneously the 30th anniversary MilestoneCelebration, and the shortest season of the show at only 10 episodes. As such, a lot of major {{Fanservice}} moments are confined to dialogue exchanges:
*** Heckyl, the reformed villain of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'', has completely turned his life around and is now the ''spinosaurus''-themed Dark Ranger.
*** According to Billy, Zack from ''Mighty Morphin''' used his [[DanceBattler hip hop-kido skills]] to defeat a squadron of {{Mooks}} and free Angel Grove from the alien invaders.

* On ''Series/{{Bones}}'', the [[spoiler: UST that makes up the bulk of the character interaction gets resolved ''completely off-screen''.]] This was most likely due to [[RealLifeWritesThePlot the writers needing to do a rush job after the actress became pregnant.]]

** The finale of ''Series/KamenRiderHibiki'' is this in its entirety. There is a huge buildup to a massive battle. Even the beginning of said battle is shown [[spoiler: and the rest of the battle is skipped, while we get to see what happens one year after the battle. It is rumored that the battle was filmed, but not shown due to the Retool caused by ExecutiveMeddling.]]

* In Mac Davis's episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'', Beaker falls in a copying machine and ends up with an army of clones. Near the end, the clones overpower the entire orchestra (which includes ''Animal''), as well as Statler and Waldorf, and take over their roles. The actual replacement occurs offscreen, with the audience only seeing the result, which is the Muppet Show ending theme being played entirely by an army of Beakers, and two Beakers meeping out the last laugh.
