Why in the world did Happily Divorced end?

Would a Happily Divorced reunion disappoint people?

Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Higgins said he's not sure if Happily Divorced would work today. “I don't want to see old Peter Lovett,” he told a journalist (Higgins turned 61 in February). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Happily Divorced movie?

Co-star Joan Collins has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Happily Divorced movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
