Next on NBC Sitcoms: December 3

All four of NBC’s Thursday-night sitcoms debut new episodes on December 3.

The Office

Community kicks things off at 8pm ET with “The Politics of Human Sexuality,” which features lots of Britta action.

Not only does she challenge Jeff to find a date for his double date with Pierce and his latest girlfriend, but she and Shirley also teach Annie about anatomy in anticipation of her health fair presentation.

Parks and Recreation follows at 8:30pm with “The Fourth Floor.” After Leslie inadvertently sees Tom and his “green-card” wife Wendy in divorce court, she and their other colleagues try to cheer him up.

The Office presents “Scott’s Tots” next at 9pm. While Michael deals with having to confess he can’t keep a promise he made to a group of children a decade ago, Jim tries to boost office morale with an Employee of the Month program.

The sitcom block closes at 9:30pm with 30 Rock’s oddly titled “Dealbreakers Talk Show #0001.” Liz learns what Jenna has to put up with when her new talk show Dealbreakers goes into production, Jack becomes determined to make the show succeed in spite of Devin’s (Arrested Development’s Will Arnett) antics, and everybody pulls together to help Tracy prove he’s committed to his wife Angie (Sherri and The View’s Sherri Shepherd).

Community opens the comedy block at 8pm ET with “Environmental Science.”

Jeff gets into a difficult situation when his fellow students enlist him to befriend Señor Chang in order to convince the teacher to stop assigning so much homework. However, those same students get miffed later when they realize Jeff is receiving special attention from his new friend Chang.

Troy and Abed also run into a problem of their own when their biology lab subject disappears. Sneak a peek at “Environmental Science” in the preview clip at the end of this post.

Parks and Recreation comes next at 8:30pm with “Hunting Trip.” While Leslie deals with the consequences of trying be one of the guys by inviting herself on Ron’s yearly hunting trip, April and Andy strike up a friendship back at the office while the other employees are gone.

Next on NBC Sitcoms: November 12

All four of NBC’s Thursday-night sitcoms have brand-new episodes coming up on November 12.

Community

Community gets the party started at 8pm ET with “Debate 109” and funny returning guest star John Michael Higgins (Raising the Bar, Kath & Kim), who reprises his role as sneaky yet clever Professor Whitman.

After he and Dean Pelton persuade Jeff to participate on the debate team for a championship meet against another college, the disgraced lawyer gets an unpleasant surprise in the form of an obnoxious opponent who challenges his oratorical skills. Also, Shirley isn’t happy about Abed’s seemingly prophetic films, and Pierce hypnotizes Britta to help her quit smoking.

Next at 8:30pm is Parks and Recreation with “The Camel.” Pawnee employees compete to create a new mural for City Hall after the old one is vandalized, and Andy and Ron have a close encounter at a shoeshine stand.

The Office and “Murder” follows at 9pm. Michael’s behavior is even odder than usual, which causes the office workers to wonder if he’s finally lost his mind completely, and Andy deals with his awkwardness in order to hook up with Erin.

The comedy block ends at 9:30pm with 30 Rock’s “The Problem Solvers.” Now that TGS finally has a new cast member, the new guy’s behavior causes Tracy and Jenna to reconsider their attitude towards Kenneth. Elsewhere, Jenna advises Liz to evaluate her situation carefully when Jack offers Liz her very own chat show.
