[via press release from NBC]

Thursday Primetime Results:

· "The Biggest Loser" (1.3/4 in 18-49, 4.7 million viewers overall from 8-9 p.m. ET) maintained 100% of its rating of the prior two weeks in 18-49 and hit a three-week high in total viewers (best since the season premiere of Sept. 11, 5.4 million). "biggest Loser" is up week to week in total viewers by +6% (4.721 million vs. 4.470 million).

· The debut of "Bad Judge" (1.3/4 in 18-49, 5.9 million viewers overall from 9-9:30 p.m. ET) retained 100% of its lead-in from "Biggest Loser" in 18-49 and built by +24% in total viewers.

· In the time period, "Bad Judge" outdelivered Fox's rival debut of "Gracepoint" head to head from 9-9:30 in adults 18-49, adults 25-54, total viewers and all key adult-female demos.
