Keep in mind that most new network series drop 10 to 20 percent in week two.

Opposite “The Bachelorette” was once summer favorite “American Ninja Warrior” on NBC at a depressed 2.66 million viewers (#3) and a 0.3/ 3 in the demo (#2t) from 8-10 p.m.

Also original last night was The CW”s combination of “Roswell, New Mexico” (Viewers 456,000; A18-49: 0.1/ 1 at 8 p.m.) and “In the Dark” (Viewers: 296,000; A18-49: 0.0/ 0 at 9 p.m.). The remainder of the evening were repeats.
