What do you think? Do you like the Perception TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
This is a good show & I agree with the others – it has to be promoted. How do you expect to gain viewers if you don’t advertise its existence? The writers do their homework regarding the workings of the human brain and really make one think & reflect on what Dr. Pierce teaches his class. Do Not Cancel this Show!
this is a great show – there are other shows that should be cancelled..
I love this show. I don’t watch television much at all but this is one of the shows I look forward to watching. When I heard they were thinking of canceling it I shut the TV off and did not watch it for 3 months. I was that disgusted. This show not only has good writing but it does touch on social issues that are under addressed by society in general. Mental Health. I love the beginning and end parts where Dr Peirce addresses his students in the lectures. Please don’t cancel this show and, even more importantly, promote it… Read more »
What a tragedy to cancel this show. Why not ACTUALLY PROMOTE IT? This is easily one of the best shows on TV. The writing is superb, episode after episode. It makes you feel and think. It draws you in and makes you feel these characters are part of your circle. You see them grow and develop, you learn from them, and there is a real life take-away in the form of a deep monologue at the end of the episode. It really doesn’t get much better than this. Only a fool would cancel this show. TNT is run by fools.

Should have been renewed and last 2 weeks meaningless since already cancelled. what a dumb move by TNT
My family and I will miss this show. So few shows are intelligentally written and acted and when we find one only to see it go, well, so sad.
I LOVE ‘perception’
I thought it had been cancelled. I was surprised to see it back on the schedule in February.
I hope TNT keeps it going.
Please don’t cancel!
I always looked forward to the next episode of Perception only to find out that it has been cancelled. Eric McCormack is such a talented actor (I still enjoy episodes of Will & Grace), and I will miss this show immensely. The solving of crimes intrigued me as I became totally absorbed with Daniel Pierce’s character. I will NOT waste my time watching reality shows so I may be watching less tv! So sad the thought-provoking shows have to go!
Nancy just in case you did not know it is back on for 4 more episodes, so I guess we will have to wait to see what happens after that. keep your fingers crossed !!!
Perception was canceled in November. Eric is starring in a new Fox pilot, Studio City. If you google you will find the announcements on the new pilot from last week.
TNT continues to move further and further from the base which gave the network credibility amongst cable/satellite viewership. Smart advertisers are bottom liners and are wasting their dollars on TNT programming with little economic return. Perception was well written, intelligent and worth watching. When people of that characterization tire of seeing a rerun of a good show for the twentieth time in a year TNT will be left with a demographic that is economically meaningless. Welcome back to channel 17 in Atlanta TNT!
Eric McCormack is so talented. Why cancel the good show and leave on shows that are just not that great. Very unhappy with your decision.
Why do they always get rid of the best ones, 2.5 million viewers that in England uk would be a top ratings, but let The 100 carry on with so many story lines to keep the viewers, WRONG
sad to see percepton cancelled great show.best show on the box.
so come on renew it.
