That was kind of the era where every show was a 20 minute toy commercial, and that can lead to cancellations for a lot of reasons. Poor reception, poor ratings, poor toy sales (This is the biggest reasons), fading fads, chasing fads too hard, etc etc.

Everyone wanted to be the new Ninja Turtles, then they became passe for a bit, then everyone wanted to be the next Power Rangers, and etc etc.

The only ones not related to toy sales were modifying classic characters, like making them "Hip," like Yo Yogi! or, inexplicably, turning them into babies/children (I don't know why that was a thing).

But yeah, it was all about toy sales, and it was all about rolling the dice on what would sell and what would flop. Investors would take their money and reinvest in whatever property and roll again, while the flops would just fade away for nostalgia to revive them 20 years later.
