From the folks who brought you "Parks and Recreation," the trailer for Fox's new fall comedy, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" is here. "Men of a Certain Age's" Andre Braugher plays the straight man against one of the more promising comedic casts on the Fall TV grid.

Andy Samberg ("Saturday Night Live") plays Jake Peralta, and Terry Crews ("The Newsroom," "Are We There Yet?"), Melissa Fumero ("One Life to Live"), Joe Lo Truglio ("Burning Love," "Reno 911") and Chelsea Peretti ("Kroll Show," "Parks and Recreation") round out the talent list.
