For those of you who have been hiding, or like to avoid the flat screen tv in lieuw of other more physical activities, Heroes is a series that revolves around ordinary people finding that they have "special powers" I
It's growing in popularity worldwide and is many times the subject of conversation at the water cooler.
Suspend belief for a moment, but the cast consists of (amoung others):
- a guy who can hear peoples thoughts
- a girl who's body regenerates when injured
- a guy who can fly
- a guy who can freeze time
- a girl with two personalities
- a guy who can be invisable
- a guy who can "replicate / copy" any of the powers of the heroes with him
DISCLAIMER
I am not advocating more TV here 
but I found that the series is interesting on a number of levels:
It demonstrates :
- how ordinary people can reach inside themselves and reach for hero status
- how "a man doesn't need to have superpowers to be a hero"
- how it is possible on many levels to absorb the talents and optimism and hope of people around you in order to make a difference in your life and others.
Its entertaining, with a message.
- find the hero in you
- find the hero in people around you
- Use the learnings to make a positive difference around you.
