Anybody with the means needs to look up a British show called The Misfits. The concept is that a group of juvenile offenders doing community service are given super powers. It's like Heroes, but without becoming ridiculously lame.
Also: the girls aren't bad looking.
Another good British show is the In-Betweeners. Just wanted to mention it. It's about a dorky kid who moves to a new school, and the tom-foolery that ensues.
Both shows are hilarious and well done.
