NBC's Olympic-Themed Trailers for Revolution, The New Normal, Guys With Kids, Chicago Fire and Animal Practice

With the Olympics airing on NBC this summer, the network is using the games as an opportunity to help launch its new fall shows.  To that effect, NBC has released Olympic-themed trailers for five new shows.

Revolution: In this epic adventure from J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions and "Supernatural's" Eric Kripke, a family struggles to reunite in an American landscape where every single piece of technology -- computers, planes, cars, phones, even lights -- has mysteriously blacked out forever.  A drama with sweeping scope and intimate focus, "Revolution" is also about family -- both the family you're born into and the family you choose.  This is a swashbuckling journey of hope and rebirth seen through the eyes of one strong-willed young woman, Charlie Matheson (Tracy Spiridakos), and her brother Danny (Graham Rogers).  When Danny is kidnapped by militia leaders for a darker purpose, Charlie must reconnect with her estranged uncle Miles (Billy Burke), a former U.S. Marine living a reclusive life.  Together, with a rogue band of survivors, they set out to rescue Danny, overthrow the militia, and ultimately re-establish the United States of America.  All the while, they explore the enduring mystery of why the power failed, and if -- or how -- it will ever return.
