Yes and no. To be fair Sentai almost ended after Fiveman because of how poorly that did and Jetman was supposedly going to be the last one. But when that did well they decided to keep going.

Ohranger did do poorly though and thus kinda did almost kill it off. Ohranger was an anniversary series and the original idea of the show was to be one big dark war epic. And it started that way and bits of that still remain throughout the show. However unfortunately for Ohranger Japan hit a rough patch and because of events like the Hanshin earthquake and the Sarin gas attacks, people were kinda turned off of anything that was dark, serious, and connected to anything dealing with war, terroism, and invasion. So Ohranger was rewritten a bit and made the show very weird and confused, and thus alienated enough fans that the ratings suffered.

Luckily toy sales helped save the show enough to warrant Carranger, which due to it's popularity for being goofy led to Sentai continuing.
