The axe keeps flying over at TNT. The cable channel already cancelled Dallas and Franklin & Bash and now, they’ve cancelled Perception as well. There won’t be a fourth season.
Perception follows Doctor Daniel Pierce (Eric McCormack), a talented and schizophrenic neuropsychiatrist, as he assists his former student, FBI Special Agent Kate Moretti (Rachael Leigh Cook), solve complex cases. Other castmembers include Kelly Rowan, Arjay Smith, LeVar Burton, and Scott Wolf.
The show is currently in its third season. Ten of the season’s 15 episodes have aired so far and have averaged 2.78 million viewers with a 0.6 rating in the 18-49 demographic. That’s down about 10% when compared to season two.
While Perception certainly isn’t TNT’s biggest series, it’s been a respectable performer. It seems that the cancellation is at least in part due to the cable channel’s desire to move towards airing edgier series.
It’s worth noting that Legends, a show sited as being more “edgy”, drew only 1.53 million viewers and has yet to be cancelled or renewed.
The final five episodes of Perception will being airing on February 17, 2015. It’s unclear if they will give viewers any kind closure to the series.
ABC Studios produces Perception so there’s a chance that they might try to find another home for the series. There will be 39 episodes at the end of season three — a far cry from the typical 88 episode minimum needed for a syndication package.
What do you think? Do you like the Perception TV show? Do you think it should have been cancelled, or renewed for a fourth season? Would you watch it on another channel?
Seriously??? How often do you find a show that is entertaining as well as thought provoking! This show is being canceled because they want something “edgier?” There’s enough crap out there! Let us hang on to something decent! If not, I hope another network will pick it up!!
Why did they cancel this show. There was substance to the series not like the fluff comedy shows they air Please renew this show.
I looked at all of the past comments posted on this website, it goes back to November, however there are many of us who keep adding to these comments and no one is taking us seriously. I hope more newbies start posting so maybe they WILL take us seriously.
Very disappointed! I missed some of season three because my husband overtook the dvr. Now I only get five more episodes. Very disheartening that it has been cancelled. It was a great show with an even greater cast.
This show never deserved to be cancelled, this was a great show with an interesting story. I may seem like a fan boy but i have seen way too many good shows cancelled and I really liked this one. If they can get it on another channel i will definitely watch it.
I sure hope another channel picks this up.They cancel this but dumb shows like Trumps show and dating shows stay on go figure are still on
And TNT have kept a few bad ones too. Net Flex is sounding better and better to me. Might be cheaper than satellite.
OMG!!they didn`t renew this but gave us the librarians dumbest show ever!What 12 year old decided this
Please keep out going its one of the best shows I’ve seen in a long while. How often does a skits get to be a hero….. Awesome…
RENEWWWWWWWWWWWWWW pls! !!!!!!!!!!! I love shows like these, you will always have a dedicated following with these shows. The reason i love it so much is because or the morals and brain teasers at the beginning and enduring of most episodes. It actually makes me think about my own actions and other’s. Granted, its not meant to be watched for any other reason than sheer entertainment. But it has that unexpected benefit of doing so. 🙂 I just love tv shows that make you think in a positive and give you a new “Perception” on things around us. I just… Read more »

Amazing series. Very disappointed with its cancellation. One more night with nothing to watch on tv.
Perception is one of the best shows on TV. If TNT is foolish enough to cancel, I hope some other network has the foresight to pick it up.
