It was a quiet Friday night though some numbers were up due to NFL preseason football. ABC had the series premiere of Karaoke Battle USA which saw a very soft debut, particularly in the demo. Not that anything better was expected. It will probably be allowed to finish out its run unless it really tanks next week. Elsewhere, NBC's burnoffs of Friends with Benefits were down from last week while Dateline NBC was up 1.2 million viewers yet even in the demo.
