NBC highlights for the week of February 7-13

* On Tuesday, "The Biggest Loser: Couples" gained 22 percent in adults 18-49 and 13 percent or more than 1.0 million persons in total viewers from its first half-hour to its fourth. "Loser" ranked #2 among the broadcast networks in adults 25-54 in a time period that included competition from Fox's "Glee" and "Raising Hope," CBS's "NCIS" and "NCIS: LA" and ABC's "No Ordinary Family" and "V."

* Also on Tuesday, "Parenthood" ranked #2 among the broadcast networks in its time period in adults 18-49 and adults 25-54 and #1 in adults, men and women 18-34.

* The "Parenthood" results are likely to increase substantially when Nielsen issues "live plus seven day" results for the week. So far this season, "Parenthood" has added an average 43 percent to its 18-49 rating when going from the previously reported "live plus same day" ratings to its "live plus seven day" results. On a percentage basis, "Parenthood" is the #1 biggest gainer in going from "live plus same day" to "live plus seven" among all primetime series on ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and CW.

* On Wednesday, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" won the 10-11 p.m. ET hour in adults 18-49, adults 25-54, adults 18-34 and other key measures. "SVU" grew from its first half-hour to its second in adults 18-49 and total viewers while rival dramas on ABC and CBS declined half-hour to half-hour in both measures.

* "The Office" on Thursday ranked #2 among the broadcast networks in its half-hour in adults 18-49 and #1 in adults 18-34 and all key adult-male demographics in a time period that included competition from ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," CBS's "CSI" and Fox's "Bones," which benefitted from an "American Idol" lead-in.

* Also on Thursday, "30 Rock" ranked #1 among the broadcast networks in its slot in adults and men 18-34 versus ABC's "Private Practice" and CBS's "The Mentalist." In its four weeks with original episodes in the Thursday 10-10:30 p.m. ET half-hour, "30 Rock" has generated NBC's four highest 18-49 and total-viewer results in the time period this season.

* On Friday, "Who Do You Think You Are?" grew 8 percent in adults 18-49 versus the prior week's season premiere to deliver NBC's highest 18-49 rating in the hour since October 8.
