AceShowbiz - Eric McCormack drama "Perception" is not coming back on screen for more episodes. TNT has canceled the series halfway through its third season.
In "Perception", McCormack plays Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia who is recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works. Rachael Leigh Cook co-stars as FBI agent Kate Moretti, Pierce's former student who asks him to consult on certain cases. Unlike her colleagues, Kate is willing to look past Daniel's peculiarities.
The series continued to decline in its rating with the most recent season averaging 2.7 million. For comparison, the first season averaged 4.2 million while the second season averaged 3 million. The series is scheduled to air its remaining season three episodes in February. However, things may change because the Turner-owned cable is welcoming Kevin Reilly as the new president and he may be doing some cleaning.
TNT had previously canceled another veteran series, "Franklin & Bash", which was in its fourth season. "Dallas" was also canceled after three seasons.
