The creator was willing, but the show was put in indefinite hiatus after season 4 finished, and never officially cancelled. It's been over 10 years now, and it's generally understood to have been silently cancelled. It can happen. Yeah...that wasn't so much because of the show but more or less because they failed hard to sell it. You remember those Samurai Jack toy commercials? COURSE YA DON'T-they failed to market it, luckily didn't waste any money on a fifth season yet, so they cut their losses. The biggest problem with the Cartoon Cartoon Era was marketing. Also you might forget, but a LOT of kids my age thought it was dumb because everything he killed just HAPPENED to be a robot. The same also goes with Young Justice, they are awful at marketing, and record a third season yet.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles doesn't have that problem like AT ALL, it probably never will as every series is able to sell a BILLION toys. I just wish I could get a damned show accurate Rahzar, the turtles are fine, but Rahzar is WAY too small.

There's a reason Nickelodeon spammed Invader Zim DVDs in the late 2000s, they all ready recorded a last season and through cancelling and almost made a financial loss.
