Which would probably mean people continued to see it. Otherwise, its popularity would've waned.

A change in management, along with a belief in the "out with the old & in with the new" adage, probably aided in its cancellation (the same occured with Sonic [SatAM], TT, and JL/JLU).

And soon after, Disney kicked all its quality toons to the curb in favor of a flavor-of-the-week list of poor sitcoms, Elmo took the helm over on Sesame Street, Spongebob soaked up what was left of Nick, The CW was formed after shoddy UPN and what was left of The WB! merged, etc.
