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?
My husband and I both love this show! That is hard to say for him since it has nothing to do with cooking or history. It is very entertaining and very well written. First Franklin and Bash now Perception!!! WTH is TNT thinking!. Oh, maybe that’s the problem, they are not!
yes definitely I want the series back . even in different channel .

My friends and I were appalled at the cancellation of this truly great show! Especially with no advance warning/notification! We would all definitely watch it on another channel.
Love the show. Someone needs to bring it back!
I love Perception. Hoping it lands somewhere soon!!
I would definitely watch Perception if it was picked up by another channel. It is one of the better shows on TV. I am sorry to see it go.
Love this show. Setup to record on DVR so that I never miss it. The girls and I at work can’t wait to discuss it the next morning over coffee. Please don’t cancel. Would watch on another channel if it is available in my area.
This is one of a handful of shows my husband and I truly enjoy together. It’s always entertaining without being objectionable. We love it! Please find another home for it.
