Uh, yeah, about it being cancelled -- believe it or not, SatAM was not the only big children's TV Show being showed at the time it was originally being aired. One huge example that comes to mind is the original Power Rangers -- and another one is Dragon Ball Z, which once upon was the most viewed television program in the West, particularly the United States -- period. Point being, SatAM, regardless of its supposed overall quality, had plenty of competition to deal with, so if at least one of its competitors managed to outperform it by a long-shot (again, last I checked, Power Rangers was selling like hot cakes back in the day, as did Dragon Ball Z, which arguably did even better than Power Rangers), chances are a network is going to cancel a program if the executives feel it won't be able to play keep-up with its competitors -- they only care about immediate results in the long run, after all.

Don't act like a show has to have good quality in order to not be cancelled for any reason, as there's been plenty of shows throughout the years that have won awards (some of which managed to do so in their first and only seasons) yet eventually had to be cancelled anyway. SatAM is no exception. It got cancelled, yes, but that alone doesn't prove that the show "sucked" in any way.
