Why only 6 episodes?

I remember watching this very cool martial arts/ninja series which
had such a brief run on television. Back in the early to mid-80's
ninja movies in theatres were the craze along with people dressing
up as ninjas for Halloween. So then why did The Master have such a
short run of only six produced and aired episodes? Star Lee Van Cleef
was so good in this show though in many of the fight scenes his
stunt double was truly obvious. Wish it could have lasted a bit
longer.
