>I also noticed that from season 6 on literally everyone at planet express went on deliveries all the time just so they could have the whole cast there.
Having literally just finished rewatching the whole thing today, I made a spreadsheet depicting this. I don't really consider it to start in season 6, because season six is the movies, with a different structure, that were only broken up into episodes later. And in fact, this issue had only barely begun in season 7. In season 7, the whole crew goes much more often than usual, but most of the time there's a reason behind it. In season 8, it worsens with characters being present for little or zero lines of dialogue and without any reason to be there in the first place, but in the latter half of season 9, and all of last season, 10, these issues practically goes away. It has apparently immediately come back again in the new season 11 though. In Kif Gets Knocked up, when Amy and Kif go for Kif to have babies, only Fry, Leela, and Bender go with them, and only Bender is relatively unnecessary. When Amy and Kif go this time to see their babies return, the whole crew is there for no reason and most of them barely have any lines. I am however pleasantly surprised that the show is not much worse off than the previous resurrections, both in humor and animation. Even degraded Futurama is still miles above most other slop these days.
