From Wikipedia: "CBS wanted to renew the show for another year, but by this time, Burnett had grown tired of the weekly grind and wanted to explore acting roles outside of the comedy genre, despite her success in it. With the changes in cast along with the mediocre ratings, she felt that television was undergoing a transition and that the variety series format was on its way out."
Carol Burnett had gotten tired of the weekly grind, was looking for other opportunities, and with the lower ratings saw the variety show format was on its way out, so she quit before the show could be cancelled.
These skits and show are priceless comedy, and immensely talented. I sure miss this high level entertainment.
Why o why was this show ever taken off the air?? Evergreen 🌲 good times and belly laughs from top notch talent! I am so glad we had this x 2gether....

So true! Carol is one of a kind!
Carl Reiner too. What a great cast. 🎈
The setting, not what happens in the skit, but the setting, is something like out of Hogan's Heroes
