So Heroes is probably on its way out this season or next, so how about a new series where a group of people find themselves with super powers?
Misfits is a British show about a group of teens who are struck by lightning and find they can do incredible things, including turn invisible, hear people's thoughts, control time (of course!), and send people into a sexual frenzy. Wow, all this time I've had a superpower and I didn't even know it (I'm talking about hearing people's thoughts). Here's a sneak peek, though it doesn't show that much. It premieres tonight at 8 on E4. It's Heroes + swearing!

Sounds remarkably like the precursor to Heroes...you know, that 80's show with Courtney Cox called "Misfits"

E4 = Not BBC America which also means I will miss this one like I missed the 1st season of Skins.

Um, this is nothing like Heroes. Mostly because it's actually good.

I saw this last night and thought it was excellent. It's a bit like Heroes crossed with Skins - and that's a good thing in my books. Hopefully they'll struggle with their powers for a while and not just be instant experts like in Heroes

I thought this show was great. It's kind of a different take on the superhero because all these kids are doing community service; they're all kind of on edge, so who knows what'll happen. They're realistic people; they all have their ticks, and character shows even in the first episode. That's hard to develop that so early. But we know who these people are.
