Why did Scooby Doo go off the air?

The Question: Why did Scooby Doo go off the air?

I've been telling this story for many years now... Every time I tell it... I dunno... It just feels like I've been there... (been where?) So let's break this thing down... We must ask ourselves..."What generally happened in an episode of Scooby Doo?"
You had 4 kids (who should have been in school) driving across the country doing drugs and meddling in people's affairs... Typically these kids would "solve a mystery" exposing some member of the community trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the entire town with an attempt to better their own financial situation... I'm no expert on "life on the streets"(Like so many of you 16 year old private school students out there) but what I do know is if you are gonna rat someone out, they better not find out it was you... These kids however chose to show blatant disregard for the rules of common sense... They made sure every criminal knew that the reason the (often expensive) hoax was foiled was because "The Mystery Machine" was on the case... Anyway the criminal would get carted away hysterically raving "I woulda gotten away with it too... if it wasn't for you Gawd Damn kids!" (That's foreshadowing my friends...)
These kids also made sure to hit a wide variety of places and expose a highly eclectic bunch of bad guys... They had everything from rich bankers and politicians to poor 7 foot farmers and dock workers... They even managed to rat on scientists and witches... Every one of them thirsting for revenge...
There were two different levels of schemes they would foil... Petty fraud (dressing up like a monster because you wanted people to stay off your land) and monumental fraud (dressing up like a monster to get a town full of people to sell their homes for cheap). Typically the petty fraud was committed by the dumb brute force types of criminals, and the monumental fraud is usually a banker or lawyer's handiwork...
BTW how long was that show on??? These kids were ratting people out for YEARS AND YEARS... locking people up by the truckloads... OWNED... And just because a banker is locked away doesn't mean he doesn't have people on the outside...
So why was the show canceled? These kids were hunted day and night by mercenaries, criminals getting out on bail, evil spirits (you should never piss off witches bro), evil robots (you should never piss off scientists either), and durt durt n durt... The point is... when they all finally caught up with those kids... it was a scene of ghoulish slaughter... and the moral of the story is... Don't snitch or you get canceled...
