Why did the Lone Ranger show stop airing?

Question:

Why did the Lone Ranger show stop airing?

I heard it was something about using the word "tonto" as his companions name. Tonto means stupid and irresponsible. I just want to know if that was the reason why the Lone Ranger is no longer televised.

Well, the Ranger found out what "kimosabi" really meant.
