It looks like the Keno brothers are done finding “buried treasure,” at least on FOX anyway. The network has dropped the short-lived non-scripted series after one season. Buried Treasure ran for four episodes last summer, from August 24th until September 14th.
The TV series follows two professional appraisers, Leigh and Leslie Keno, as they travel to people’s houses to inspect potentially rare and unusual items. The participants are often in need of cash and so episodes share their emotional journies as items are brought to auction and sold.
The Keno brothers are well known from their work on PBS’ Antiques Roadshow series.
Unfortunately, the non-scripted show certainly wasn’t a secret gold mine for the network. The premiere attracted a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.67 million total viewers. It was in fourth place in its timeslot, beaten by a sitcom repeat and other reality fare. The final episode hit a low with a 0.8 rating and 2.80 million.
Over the four weeks, the show averaged just a 1.0 rating with 3.51 million viewers. The network chose not to bring the series back for a second season this summer or for the 2012-13 schedule.
What do you think? Did you enjoy watching Buried Treasure? Would you liked to have seen it come back for a second season?

It is very unfortunate that Fox has chosen not to bring the show back. I watched and enjoyed all the episodes. Perhaps if the show had been advertised more or more episodes were made, other viewers would have been able to view and enjoy it. I will really miss this show!
I really enjoyed this show! I hope another network picks it up. Would watch it every week!
This was a good show on the wrong network. Would have been a good fit for PBS or discovery.
Seriously they decided to wait until now to cancel the show? I forgot the show even existed for 4 episodes. Just like with nbc axing minute to win it and the marriage ref, why wait so long?
