Sometimes... dead is better.

What is dead may never die. Futurama will probably be rebooted until enough of the voice actors die that it is no longer a viable series to reboot.

I used to love Futurama but the last season left a bit more to be desired. It didn't have the same energy as the earlier seasons.

I feel the same. I'm not here to yuck anyones yum, (I am glad folks are enjoying it) but the Futurama that came back from the dead wasn't the Futurama I fell in love with. Even though it stayed quite smart and nerdy... Perhaps later they leaned too hard into math nerd territory like with the body swap episode. Cool that they made an equation to make it work, but that's not "funny," just extremely nerdy.
