Total Drama was NEVER supposed to be a "one and done" show. The creator said it himself that 10 seasons is his goal. Why they choose to create Daycare instead of continuing Total Drama is beyond me, but maybe they want to try something new this time. TD's ratings and popularity dropped season after season, so them wanting to try something new is understandable in a business standpoint. Majority of the people who started watching Total Drama are now grown up, and teens (the demographic the show first appealed to) don't really watch that much TV anymore. Mostly little kids and elders watch TV nowadays. What exactly is wrong with the producers wanting money? Wouldn't you want to get money too?

No, it would have been terrible for that one to be the final episode. Most of the TDI cast barely did anything in the first season, and were barely fleshed out as characters aside from the mergers. TDA and TDWT were the seasons that fleshed these characters out, not TDI. TDI was a good season, but I hate to say it, but it has become a little overrated (God I hate that word). TDI had so many problems that people in the fandom refuse to aknowledge. If the season came out now, a lot of people would not praise it as much as they do now. There were A LOT of continuity errors, characters with no development, fodders, out of character moments, mediocre antagonist, poorly written eliminations, many of these are the reasons why people hate the recent seasons yet TDI is praised to heavens for some reason.

None of the shows you mentioned are CN or Teletoon shows. Spongebob, FoP and American Dad are shows that the networks themselves refuse to let go, because they just became way too popular. Gravity Falls is a Disney Show, and it was a continuity heavy show, it had to end someday. Shows like Spongebob could go on for as long as they want to since it's a comedy based cartoon, while Total Drama could create multiple seasons and spin-offs thanks to its premise. Courtney wasn't a merger.
