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.

And to say that ratings/viewership is not a good indicator of the show's 'strength' makes no sense. Companies make shows for the purpose of making money. They don't judge a show by how much people like it. The best way for shows to make money is thru advertisers on TV. Advertisers determine whether or not they want their ads on a show's slot by looking at viewership. And the ones who make the show determine how much they can demand the advertisers pay them by showing them the viewership.

Personally, I think the show should have gone to straight to the Disney apps and to streaming.
