This Is Us: Get Ready to Feel (Good) Things

The first trailer for This Is Us gives you plenty of reasons to watch NBC's new family drama this fall, beginning with Milo Ventimiglia's bare butt and followed by the promise of heartfelt emotional scenes that will have you crying into a bucket of Rocky Road every week.

The feelings fest -- ostensibly about people who share the same birthday but find themselves connected in other ways -- combines heart and humor as its main characters try to navigate life and its many obstacles.

For Moore, it's the opportunity to showcase the talent that she's been sharpening in low-key indie films for years, while Ventimiglia will break your heart so thoroughly in the first episode that it will make you think This Is Us could be the thing to help him finally shed the skins of his Gilmore Girls and Heroes alter-egos Jess Mariano and Peter Petrelli.

Both of their characters are on the verge of major life breakthroughs when we encounter them, but their unique and close-knit relationship provides a lot of the humor you'll need to help prevent yourself from drowning in tissues.

There's not a lot of flash, but there is a ton of heart, and if NBC can deliver the same amount of emotion in every episode that it does in the pilot then This Is Us will be sure to hit your sweet spot.
