TNT has renewed Southland for a fourth season and picked up a new crime drama called Perception.

The network had ordered 10 more episodes of Southland, which averaged 2.9 million viewers this season, up 6% from last year.

Perception stars Eric McCormack (Will & Grace) as an eccentric neuroscientist who helps the federal government solve complex crimes. Rachael Leigh Cook, Arjay Smith and Kelly Rowan also star. The show is from Kenneth Biller (Star Trek: Voyager).

    Couldn’t agree more. Last season was so good. Can’t wait to see where they take it.

    Meanwhile, NBC frantically searches for another “Law & Order” to fill its schedule…

    …seriously, it’s just as well that “Southland” is on TNT. Seems to be thriving there in a way that NBC would’ve botched even if they’d renewed it.

      You are so right…network tv is far too generic save for certain shows that don’t fit the mold (coughing as he says fringe)… Cable is where the best art comes from.

    I’d put Southland just behind Breaking Bad for Best Drama on TV. This past season was flawless.

      Yeah! How do we get Emmy voters to start recognizing this great show! Who do I write my letter to? Regina King, Michael Cudlitz, Ben McKenzie (sp?), Shawn Hatosy all gave-and give-award worthy performances!
