You want a real show about bullying? Watch 3'oclock high [1]. It's a fun story about hitting back.
I thought that video was horrible. Kids need to learn to hit back, either physically or verbally.
My kids will learn to hit back because that is how I grew up. I've blooded lips and blackened eyes, and I've had it done to me.
I grew up where the teachers were smart enough (and had enough autonomy) to let some of this play out. Fights were broken up and kids punished, but the penalties were not juvenile hall and a ride in a police car. Instead there was some detention and parent conferences, and often the respect of your peers.
