NBC announced today the premieres and sneak peeks of its new Fall 2012 primetime schedule that capitalize on the launch and promotional platforms provided by the network's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games, the finale of "America's Got Talent" and the return of "The Voice" and "Sunday Night Football." Most of the new fall shows will premiere in advance of the start of the season.

The rollout of NBC's Fall 2012 season begins with commercial-free sneak previews of the new comedies "Go On" (Wednesday, August 8) after the evening's coverage of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games and "Animal Practice" on Sunday, August 12, following the Closing Ceremonies of the Summer Olympics.

One day after the conclusion of the Olympics, NBC will debut the new competitive series "Stars Earn Stripes" with a special two-hour episode on Monday, August 13 (8-10 p.m. ET), followed on the same night with the advance season premiere of "Grimm" (10-11 p.m. ET).

Continuing NBC's launch strategy, "The Voice" returns on September 10 (8-10 p.m.), handing-off to encore sneak peeks of "Animal Practice" (10-10:30 p.m. ET) and "Go On" (10:30-11 p.m. ET). The NFL Kick-Off Special 2012 and first NFL game of the season on Wednesday, September 5, followed by Football Night in America (7:00-8:15 p.m.) and Sunday Night Football's (8:15-11 p.m.) return in their regular timeslots on September 9 kick off a launch week that includes the September 11 time-period premiere of "Go On" (9-9:30 p.m.) followed by "The New Normal" (9:30-10 p.m.), a sneak peek of "Guys With Kids" on September 12 (10-10:30 p.m.) after the next to last episode of "America's Got Talent," and the season premiere of "Parenthood" on September 11 (10-11 p.m.). To provide additional sampling, the new comedy "The New Normal" will re-broadcast its first episode on Thursday, September 13 (10-10:30 p.m. ET), following the season finale of "America's Got Talent."

Among other new NBC series for fall, the drama "Revolution" premieres on Monday, September 17 (10-11 p.m. ET); and the drama "Chicago Fire" debuts on Wednesday, October 10 (10-11 p.m. ET).
