Alot of people hated the tv show, and I do not understand why. Someone hated the show, because there's a girl in there that cusses alot. I remember watching the show when it comes on, and I think I did hate that Alice character, but I could not hate the show just for the hatred of one character, but if it was the whole cast, that's worth hating the show for. I also hated the villians, but I think that's what the villians are there for. The Dilbert magazine was popular, and that's why he continues to be on the magazine. I think I also heard about the comic book of it being popular.

It's not even the fact that it's all office cubicles, which is depressing on its own, but that was irrelevant to me. It was just the scale of there being that many in such a small space, so that the entire "Dilbert" logo felt like a whole universe unto itself.

All these answers are kind of poor so here's the actual reason. It's too expensive. Dilbert was in a league with several other cartoons that were produced with the express purpose of riding the wave created by The Simpsons. A lot of them were decent and a few made their way to Adult Swim where they would get a second chance but most of these shows were cancelled because the networks funding them found animation too expensive when compared to live action productions. The profit margin wasn't there so they got the boot. Family Guy and Futurama was saved by Adult Swim. The Critic and Duckman had a respectable run though.
