What do you think? Do you like the Perception TV show? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a fourth season?
Don’t cancel. One of the best shows on. Try putting on a different night why compete with the likes of ncis? No wonder people are fed up with regular TV. This is just poor positioning otherwise I think ratings would be no prob. Do ratings take into account people who record? Just wondering please save this show.
Please, please don’t cancel this show! It is bright and insightful entertainment that makes us use our brains. Got into it late in the game but wouldn’t miss it now for ANYTHING!!
Please don’t cancel! Why are all the best shows cancelled and all the mindless crappie shows like modern family still running?
and the cancellation of this show is just one more reason I’m a cord-cutter.
So many junk shows are still on the air but the good ones almost always get cancelled too early.
The reality shows, and shows that pander to the 5 and 6 year old mentality just grab too much of the population. It’s a sad commentary.
At least this one was able to quit on a happy note. Maybe Netflix can grab it? Or some other group that will do more. fingers crossed.
We love this show – please don’t cancel !!!!
I love this show!!! Please, don’t take it away. I agree that it must need a boost in advertising. The show and the cast are great.
DON’T CANCEL IT .SUCH A GREAT SHOW
I agree, don’t cancel this show! This is the only time I watch anything on TNT! There is so much crap on tv, now they take away a great show. Guess I won’t be tuning into TNT anymore.
Please keep it. It not only a well written show but it also is helping to build acceptance of the mentally ill.
One of the FEW shows I really enjoy. DON’T CANCEL!
Really enjoy this show. It should not be cancelled. Many others need to be removed from viewing before this one. Love the actors in this show.
This show is clever, well written, well acted, and different. I love it! Please keep it on the air! No wonder the 2nd season lost ratings. We only got to see 4 shows all year, even though the count on “info” said they were Season 2, Episode 12 and more. What happened? Why didn’t we get to see all the shows? I do not like the way they compromised the integrity of the stars in the season/series finale. They could have done the same end in a way that did not end on a lie. Badly done. Still, I would… Read more »
There were 15 episodes in the third season. Ten of them aired last year, five aired this year. That’s all there is.
This is a great show! Its very interesting. Maybe it needs a boost in advertising, but I think a lot of people like this show. The networks always take off the good shows and leave all the junk on. Eric McCormack gives a stellar performance, as well as the rest of the cast.
This is one of the few more intelligent, well written shows. Please keep it going!
DON’T CANCEL PERCEPTION!! SUCH A GREAT SHOW!!!!!!
