The characters by that time had so much backstory, they just weren't right for that type of cartoony kid show. The audience that they already had didn't want it, and they couldn't get a new audience. It would've been better, if he was going to do that kind of dopey show, to just do it with two new characters with no preexisting adult baggage. But he wanted to have his cake and eat it too, thinking he'd have a built-in audience. Which he did, but then they got turned off.
