No. It’s the same reason abc cancelled. It is expensive!!!!! No reason to take on a show that was low rated. Yes it was.

“The cancellation came as a shock for many fans considering the show’s high ratings. Deadline reports the sitcom was the network’s second-highest comedy this season and averaged 8.1 million viewers, just behind “Modern Family,” which averaged 8.7 million viewers this season and was recently renewed for two more seasons. It was also ABC’s third highest watched scripted series behind “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Modern Family.”
It was the top 3 program for them.
You are absolutely right. It always is a business decision. It was a low rated show. Period.
It probably didn't help that ABC stuck it on Friday night, when viewership is lower anyhow. The only reason I got to see it with any regularity was thanks to my handy dandy DVR unit.
Oh, well. They did have a 6 season run. Not too bad considering that some shows are lucky to get past the first 5 months!
