After just 2 episodes and less than a single week, CBS has yanked the disastrous dating show 3 from its schedule. No one can blame it: the show launched with a “special” airing on Thursday after Big Brother and promptly lost more than 60% of its lead-in rating with a 0.8. In its one and only broadcast in what would have been its regular timeslot on Sunday (airing against the Olympics, just to make things worse), it lost almost three-quarters of the Big Brother lead-in and only managed a 0.5. Those are CW numbers, not anything CBS is prepared to tolerate, so farewell, 3.
Procedural reruns will air in the Sunday 10PM slot until the fall season begins.
