The ratings got lower and lower as people took to the internet to watch the episodes. Ratings are no longer a good indicator for the overall strength. Back when there was no easy way to watch the show, the viewers were stronger.

I realize they did not TECHNICALLY 'cancel'. But that's splitting hairs. They were prepared to continue for several more years, but the higher-ups decided they weren't to make the show anymore because it wasn't profitable. Essentially the same thing for the same reason.
