It does still happen (Ultraman Nexus being the most recent example), but Toei would never do it with one of their big franchises. The closest we ever got was Hibiki, and they just totally ruined it with executive meddling instead of cancelling it. The last time I know of Toei cancelling a show was Metalder, which they cut the back 25% off of.

And I'm not surprised if Kyoryuger's ratings are improving. It's big, loud, dumb, and kid friendly, which is apparently what Japanese audiences want out of Sentai.
