What do you think? Do you like the Perception TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Really liked this show. Want to know who they are using to judge who watches what. Getting tired of liking a show and then having it cancelled. Wish they would give the viewers some kind of Nielsen device so we can count.
Sorry to see this show go. I enjoyed seeing Eric in a different role.
I enjoyed the program and am sorry it has been cancelled. Perhaps the show should be hosted by a different network. I enjoyed Eric McCormack with Debra Messing in Will & Grace and that was the reason I gave Perception a try and found he is quit convincing in the role.
I absolutely want Perception to return. I love this show and the actors are superb. I have been watching since it went on the air. Please, no cancellation. Keep it going.
I love this show! It is intelligent TV viewing that is not filled with gratuitous sex, killing, foul language and bad acting. I believe that this show will pull the ratings that TNT is looking for, if only given the chance to do so. There are so many TV shows that are just empty drivel and lots of bad acting. It would be a shame to lose this one. It is one of the most entertaining, believable, funny, witty and well acted shows on television right now.
I really liked this show, it was well acted and scripted. I guess the reason it did not have a large following was that it required a level of viewer intellegence greater that of watching “2 broke girls” or “the big bang theory”. What a shame!
One of my favorite shows
My wife and I love Perception. We really hope another network picks it up.
Please renew this show. I thoroughly enjoy it, love Eric McCormack and the actor who plays Lipwicky. Please reconsider
i love this show. it is different, funny, and educationl
Perception is one of my favorite shows. It definitely should not be cancelled. I hope that TNT will change their mind and keep it going.
Was hoping TNT would come to it’s senses …or another network would see what a big mistake TNT was making and pick up this show. It was one of the best shows on TV. One of my favorites. Yet another really good show with great story lines get cancelled. BIG MISTAKE TNT!!
Great show! It has done good things, not filled with sex, and stuff you see on renewed shows. Think about ur mistake!
Please do not cancel!!! My husband and I love this show; refreshing, well written is not filled with sex, violence & bad language. We enjoy the suspense & mystery involved. Would be ashame if it’s cancelled. We would surely miss it
I enjoyed watching Perception, an wished that TNT would reconsider ending the show…we love all the actors on the show..Especially Eric…..don’t want to see it end.
My teenager daughter and I enjoyed spending time watching the show a highlight of the week. So sorry to see it end.
