(CBS News) CBS has pulled the plug on its summer dating show "3."

The network has taken the show, which brought three women together to search for love, off its schedule after airing just two episodes.

"3" debuted with a preview episode last Thursday that brought in just 2.4 million viewers, according to the Hollywood Reporter. On Sunday, it dropped down to 1.8 million viewers.

CBS will air drama repeats on Sundays at 9 p.m. beginning next week, until "The Good Wife" returns to that time slot on Sept. 30.

Tell us: Did you tune in for "3"?

Some of my friends and I were watched the show when it came on. We didn't even know it was on the second time when it was moved to Sunday! Plus, The Olympics are on. I do NOT like the cancelling of a show when it first starts. That isn't fair.

I looked all over for this show and thought maybe times were changed because of the Olympics. I cannot believe you canceled it already! I was really enjoying a show where it wasn't all about 25 bachelors! Please bring it back and finish it. i just finished watching the 3rd show online.

Please bring this show back and at least finish it out. It truly showed women in a positive and mature way. You had 3 women from 3 different households in my family already invested in this show. I think all that was wrong was the timing...up againt a once every 2 years olympics! Please reconsider..

I agree, the timing was horrendous, not a fair trial for what appeared to be a very good show.

I really enjoyed this show as well. I've never seen a dating show that actually seemed legitimate and unscripted. TV shows like Big Brother and The Bachelor generally depress and annoy me. It's so disappointing to see some semblance of intelligent TV programming disappear so quickly.

I liked this show and was sad to see that it was cancelled. It was nice to see girls work together instead of stabbing each other in the back. I hope there is a chance of getting this show back on the air.

I liked this show,don't you think low ratings had something to do with the Olympics?I know I was flipping between big brother, 3, and the Olympics.I kept looking for it and wondered what happen which brought me here.
