Betsy Thomas has closed a deal to join new NBC comedy series "Bad Judge" as executive producer/showrunner. Thomas was immediately approached for the job when Liz Brixius exited the Universal TV-produced show 10 days ago.

Thomas, who is under an overall deal at Uni TV, ran NBC/Uni TV’s "Whitney" in its first season. She already is working on "Bad Judge", which is slated to premiere on Oct. 2, with four episodes filmed before Thomas’ arrival.
