NBC brought a full night of all-new episodes this week with its Thursday night lineup, and while it was comedy as usual, there were also some momentous events. Community took on Pulp Fiction in its much-anticipated tribute ep as they celebrated Abed's birthday, and the folks of Perfect Couples went on their respective bachelor/bachelorette trips (though it was bittersweet knowing that the series isn't coming back next season).

Leslie and the gang went on an ill-fated camping trip to breed ideas on Parks and Recreation, but perhaps the sweetest — and biggest deal — happened on The Office as the Dunder Mifflinites helped Michael propose to Holly . . . and learned they were going to say goodbye to their boss. The denizens of 30 Rock panicked as TGS went on a forced hiatus in Tracy's absence, and Todd encounters workplace drama on Outsourced. I have to say, though it was an all-around great night on NBC, The Office is my pick this time around, given that Michael and Holly's storyline was so sweet. Your turn — if you tuned in to the peacock network Thursday night, it's time to vote for which of the shows you thought was funniest!

With the exception of The Office, the NBC Thursday night comedy block came back after a couple of weeks of repeats with all new episodes (and good renewal news!), which means that my Friday morning poll is back, too. This week, Britta came between Troy and Abed's friendship with a new guy on Community, competition among friends was explored in Perfect Couples, and over on Parks and Recreation we finally got to witness the fruits of all of Leslie's labor at the Harvest Festival. 30 Rock went with a reality-show-themed episode, while an Indian holiday made for a paint war on Outsourced.

I found myself laughing out loud at the hijinks of the Harvest Festival, so Parks and Recreation gets my vote for being the funniest this week. But if you tuned in, speak up: which of NBC's Thursday night comedies did you think was the best?

This week brought yet another hilarious comedy block from NBC, but let's talk about which series trumped all the rest! Greendale hosts an impromptu student election on Community, but Jeff and Annie aren't the only ones lobbying for a job; Michael Scott's best friend Todd Packer returns to The Office to reclaim his old Dunder Mifflin gig, while Outsourced's Todd brings on a new worker at the call center. Liz Lemon regrets hiring a new female writer on 30 Rock, but at least Dave and Vance are making the most out of their jobs: they squat in a house for sale on Perfect Couples. Meanwhile, the Parks and Recreation gang lives it up at the Snakehole Lounge, while Leslie and Ron take a trip to Indianapolis.

So many of the shows had funny bits, but which was the best overall? I'm torn between 30 Rock and Parks and Recreation (Andy and April are kind of adorable). Vote for your fave!

NBC delivered another all-new block of episodes with its Thursday night comedy line-up, so now it's time for the battle of the funniest. Community seemed to switch places with The Office in its documentary-themed episode, while The Office adopted Community's film-reference style. Parks and Recreation saw the meltdown of Ben, and Liz tries to get over her breakup with Carol on 30 Rock. Todd welcomes his boss to India on Outsourced, and the Perfect Couples deal with gender roles in their relationships (and have a Mad Men party!).

I chuckled a lot during the three-hour block, but if I had to pick a favorite? I'd go with Community for Troy's reaction to meeting LeVar Burton alone. Now it's your turn to choose: which Thursday night NBC comedy did you think was the funniest this week?

Buzz In: Which of NBC's Thursday Night Comedies Was Funniest This Week?

NBC's Thursday night comedy block had a solid batch of all-new episodes this week, with many of them celebrating Valentine's Day with a side of hilarity.

NBC's Thursday night comedy block had a solid batch of all-new episodes this week, with many of them celebrating Valentine's Day with a side of hilarity. I watched them all — Community, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, The Office, Outsourced, and Perfect Couples, and like last week, I want you to weigh in on which comedy you thought was the best this week.

Troy and Abed fight over a girl on Community, Ron and Tammy tear up Pawnee with their tainted love on Parks and Recreation, and The Office dwellers deal with Holly and Michael's rampant PDA. In an Outsourced's overseas office, Todd brings in the hearts-and-candy holiday, while the Perfect Couples folks deal with jealousy. And on 30 Rock, things start off promising for Liz's weekend getaway with Carol, but their relationship doesn't exactly take flight. But I want to hear your assessment: which of the NBC shows was funniest?

Buzz In: Which NBC Comedy Killed It Last Night?

Now that NBC is in full swing with its new 3-hour comedy block, I spend all week looking forward to the sheer volume of hilarity that's waiting on Thursday nights. I try to watch each show — Community, Parks and Recreation, 30 Rock, The Office, Outsourced, and now Perfect Couples, and with so many, it's hard not to put them against each other for the funniest of the night.

Community had its dungeons and dragons episode, while Parks and Recreation exploited the Twilight phenomena to awesome effect, and 30 Rock doubled up on guest appearances with Vanessa Minnillo and Elizabeth Banks. Plus, Michael and Holly finally got back together on The Office, the Outsourced gang took a field trip, and newbie Perfect Couples had its funniest episode yet with an Edward 40-hands reference.

To be sure, NBC had a night to be proud of, but which one had you laughing the most?
