didn’t watch the show but there’s a multitude of reasons that even some popular shows get the ax. First off, there’s the case of “insufficient popularity”. (The take, though respectable, doesn’t cover the cost.) Personality conflicts between network execs and show runners. (Sounds like this might have comje into play here.) Finally, sometimes network types want to do “something different”. This factor caused the cancelation of CBS’s “country shows” back in the sixties. (Bev. Hillbillies, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, which were doing ok ratings-wise.) It also cost us a second season of Odyssey 5.
