We recently highlighted some clips from NBC’s forthcoming new dramas and comedies, but now the network has released the full length trailers for all of their new series as well. They’re about twice as long as most movie trailers, and they give us a pretty good idea of the tone and style behind each series. After the jump you can check out trailers for Prime Suspect with Maria Bello, The Playboy Club with Amber Heard, Steven Spielberg’s Broadway musical drama Smash, the fairytale drama Grimm, Kyle Killen’s Awake starring Jason Isaacs, Whitney featuring stand-up comedian Whitney Cummings, Up All Night with Will Arnett and Christina Applegate, Free Agents with Hank Azaria, Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea with Laura Prepon, and Bent with Amanda Peet.
Personally, on the drama side of things, I’m absolutely riveted by the trailer for Awake which just looks like a truly original and compelling drama series from Lone Star writer Kyle Killen. Smash also looks like it has the musical fun and powerful drama to become Glee for adults, but hopefully with a little bit more consistent quality writing. With the comedies, I think Up All Night looks the most promising. Whitney has the potential to gain steam, but it’s hard for me to get past laughtracks on sitcoms. Anyway, you can judge for yourself after checking out all the trailers after the jump.

Dear NBC,
Please kill the laugh track on “Are You There Vodka?”. I may be only speaking for myself, but I feel that I have reached a level of intelligence to ascertain whether a scene or joke is humorous on my own.
Thank You,
Stone
Dear NBC,
Please kill this show completly. Chelsea Handler is not funny and either is sit-coms with laugh tracks.
thanks,
Everybody who isn’t stupid.
Dear NBC, the only two good ones here are Pan Am and Awake. Bent, Grimm and Smash seems okay-ish-esque-like.
Prime Suspect for sure.Grimm and Awake a try….the rest you can keep
