10 TV Shows That Just Got Cancelled

10. National Treasure: Edge Of History

Disney's National Treasure: Edge Of History really didn't stand a chance, did it?

A continuation of the Nicolas Cage-starring action-adventure films that fatally lacked the man himself, Edge of History was a glorified soft reboot which failed to endear its young new leads to fans of the original two movies.

Ultimately, the National Treasure series received predominantly negative reviews from critics and fans alike, for effectively using a brand name to launch a generic new adventure serial with a few unremarkable slivers of fan service.

And though viewing figures were encouraging out of the gate, it failed to sustain interest throughout or shore up much fan discussion online, which really says it all.

In late April, Disney confirmed that Edge of History wouldn't be returning for a second season, to the surprise of few who found the show so painfully, generically lacking.

Unfortunately, Disney might take the wrong message away from this and assume that people aren't interested in more National Treasure. In reality, they just want Nicolas Cage back as the lead.
