“The Simpsons” is saying goodbye to the voice behind some of its most iconic characters. Pamela Hayden, who voiced Milhouse Van Houten and a slew of other characters, announced she is retiring from the show after 35 years. “The time has come for me to hang up my microphone, but how do I say goodbye to The Simpsons?” Hayden said in a news release. “We named him Milhouse because that was the most unfortunate name a kid could have,” Groening said in a statement. “People come up to me and they quote Milhouse lines,” Hayden said in a video FOX shared Wednesday to commemorate her roles.

A still from ‘Homer’s Crossing’ Photo: FoxThirty-five years ago, which can’t possibly be true, cartoonist Matt Groening was making the rounds of news outlets in New York, hawking his new, prime-time animated series. He was fairly well-known already—his comic-strip “Life in Hell” was a mainstay of the alternative weeklies (newspaper-like publications, FYI) and had gotten the attention of producer James L. Brooks , who drafted Mr. Groening to make “bumpers” to fill gaps between skits on “The Tracey Ullman Show.” Now, the cartoon family created by the very likable and unassuming cartoonist would be getting their own half-hour on Fox.

If “Futurama” were a person, you could imagine it saying “Doh” when it returns after 10 years and “The Simpsons,” the show in whose shadow it has always resided, is still around. The new season picks up in the next moment, with both fictional time and the actual show rebooted. If you haven’t watched the show before, you won’t know what you’re missing, but you probably will be aware that you’re missing something and that this is a problem. A greater concern is that a little of the zip has gone out of the writing and the overall comic conceptualism. Episodes aimed at big, easy targets like Bitcoin and Amazon feel routine, no matter how many opportunities they provide for making connections to the show’s past.
