Zap2It reported earlier this month that the show's rating have jumped 22 percent since October. The show has 3.8 million viewers overall since its prior telecast on November 20.
The show was cancelled weeks several weeks ago because of low ratings and criticism.

The group also said the show protrayed that the judge was, "unethical, lazy, crude, hypersexualized and unfit to hold such an esteemed position of power."
The letter specifically read, "A misogynist who believes that women in power cannot control their sexuality, their bodies and their professional or personal conduct would have their views endorsed by this show."
Speculation has begun that the show may be revived after such great ratings, especially on the show's Facebook page.
"This show gets better and better. Hope the network takes another look," one user wrote.
"Still one of the best shows on tv. BAD NBC FOR AXING IT," another added.
Kate Walsh, starring actress in the show, has done her fair share of defending the series, as posted by Fashion & Style.
"At the end of the day, it's a comedy," Walsh said. "We're trying to make people laugh ... We're not doing 'Law & Order' ... Are you going to arrest me? Is that what this is about?"
The next episode of Bad Judge airs Thursday, Jan. 1 at 9 p.m. on NBC.
