NBC ENTERTAINMENT — NBC is giving audiences a sneak preview of one of its new comedies Sunday night following the Olympics closing ceremony.

"Animal Practice", set in a veterinary hospital, features just about as many four-legged actors as two-legged ones.

Running herd over the menagerie is Dr. George Coleman, played by Justin Kirk.

Coleman's the irascible, unorthodox vet whose best bud is a capuchin monkey named Dr. Rizzo.

The regular premiere of "Animal Practice" will be Wednesday, September 26 at 8:00 p.m.
