It all has to do with sales, not the quality of the show. And unfortunately many times the sales are tied into familiarity of younger viewers. I know HGWT had run for awhile on Chopmark and earlier on TV Land when few people got the network. It's a great show but I guess it just didn't sell well enough. CBS doesn't usually abandon shows so I'm assuming by season 3 the sales must have been abysmal for the releases to be discontinued. Taxi is really the only other show I can think of that they stopped in the middle like that.
