It didn't last long enough. It was a great show with a really good cast and I thought it did justice to the movie. So why did it end? Anyone know?

The ratings tanked, but it ended properly.

It ended because the whole "90s whatever" phase was phasing out.

What do you mean by "the whole '90s whatever' phase"?

I was wondering the same thing. Did the show simply "run its course"? I know that for its last two years, it was on UPN, which was of course, a much smaller network than when it was on ABC. But being that Paramount produced Clueless and owned UPN, I would figure that it would've been more willing to give it a chance to succeed (since there was more margin for error).
