· "The Biggest Loser" (1.2/4 in 18-49, 4.7 million viewers overall from 8-9 p.m. ET) retained 92% of its week-ago 1.3 rating, despite a significantly stronger NFL game on CBS this week. In adults 25-54, "Biggest Loser" maintained 100% of last week (with a 1.6 rating vs. a 1.6).

· Upscale: "Parenthood" is the #1 most upscale primetime series on the Big 4 networks in, indexing at a 173 among adults 18-49 living in homes with $100K+ incomes ("most current" L+3 results through the opening four weeks of the season, 100 represents an average concentration of those homes).
