It was too popular.... with girls.
And in the eyes of Corporate Executives(.tm), "Girls don't buy toys".
As in, that's -exactly- what the creators of the show got told when their show got cancelled.
A female sibling of mine who was a fan of the show back then was a bit miffed when she thus learned -why- the show was cancelled.

I always thought it was because of the poorly done time-skip that left a huge hole between season 1 and 2 that was to be bridged with a video game, only the game was both bad and delayed so that it didn't come out on time, in fact coming out after the show was canned. Perhaps more the money lost on that game's development than this "too popular with girls" bullshit.
