'Dating' drops without 'Bachelorette'

In its first week without a "Bachelorette" lead-in, ABC's "Dating in the Dark" dropped as expected, coming in third place at 10 p.m.

"Dating" (3.6 million viewers, 1.6 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) fell 33% to against a repeat and "Dateline" (6.8 million, 1.9).

Otherwise, a sluggish night for broadcast, with CBS winning with repeats. NBC was second with a steady "Great American Road Trip" (4.6 million, 1.2), a repeat and "Dateline." Fox was third with repeats. ABC was fourth with "Sugarland: Live on the Inside" special (4.2 million, 1.1), which came in last place in the hour, plus a repeat and "Dating."
