1. It's not really coming back.
The new voices will have to be special to make people forget 4 years plus 4 direct-to-DVD specials of the voices that kept the show going.

5. In a way
The lead actors wanted $75k per episode and FOX said "no".

It must be a lot of work for them to want that much money to continue doing it.

7. It won't be the same

I could maybe see a spinoff with different characters but replacing the entire cast?

10. So Fox got stingy and wouldn't meet their salary demands?
The demands couldn't have been all that big, since it doesn't cost all that much to live when you're only made of ink on paper.
