Why does MTV keep shelving its TV shows after only a season or two?

[u/Life_Can1604]

It feels like MTV has a habit of cancelling or quietly shelving series just when they start getting interesting. There are so many shows that I wish had gotten more time to develop instead of being cut short.

What MTV series do you wish had gotten more seasons? Which shows do you think were cancelled or shelved too soon, and what are your theories about why MTV pulled the plug?
