Continuity mistake: When Beast says "We appear to be at the mercy of our hosts," he is noticeably further away from Cyclops than he is from the rest of the episode.

Savage Land, Strange Heart (2) - S3-E9

A couple of shots later, they are completely gone. They then reappear and disappear throughout the rest of the episode.

Savage Land, Strange Heart (1) - S3-E8
Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Sauron can be seen wearing the necklace of Garokk. Not only is he not wearing the necklace a few shots later, but he isn't even supposed to have the necklace until a few minutes later in the episode when Zaladane gives it to him after he reverts to his human form. (00:01:05 - 00:04:10)
The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: The yellow paint for the "H" marking on the helicopter pad on the roof of the Muir Island Research Center becomes smaller when the shot changes. (00:09:20)
Continuity mistake: The warning sign on the containment vessel inside the alien ship disappears in the wide shot. (00:14:40)

Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
