Brian is Dead!

[stan.smith]

Family guy's most beloved character for 11 seasons was just killed off last week. Kinda sad that they would just off him like that and bring in another dog "Vinny" with an italian accent. and what about brian and stewie's awesome relationship that can never be duplicated?? Really curious to see how this works out for fam guy and their fans. also hopin its a hoax!

I didn't see the episode, but I think it's a setup. I mean, Stewie DOES have a working time machine, right?

[bassman2546]

Not any more. He destroyed it prior to Brian getting killed off. Regardless, future episodes this season have Brian in the title so I wouldn't say we've seen the last of him. It's a cartoon after all.

I hope they do bring Brian back. Vinnie sucks. The Brian/Stewie relationship was the best one on the show.

Very sad, He was my favorite

[steviedresses]

Ahhh... Family Guy needs to jump the shark.

Surely there is a forum somewhere dedicated to Family Guy...and on there someone has posted a thread entitled "Does Liking Shemale Porn Make You Gay?"

[scroller]

It's just MacFarlane being lazy/tired and wanting to do less work on the show (namely, voicing Brian plus other characters). He's gone on record many times at this point that he's sick of the show. A classy way would be to have Brian move out and become a writer or college faculty or something. But that's not SM's style, gotta do the gratuitous violence thing.

Well there IS Quagmire's father...

That's the point. This whole sequence could wind up like Bobby Ewing returning on Dallas or seeing St. Elsewhere in the snow globe.

Really...how hard is it to fix a flux capacitor?

[MrBlonde]

I bet they do a "dallas" type thing where Bobby was dead for a whole season then his wife woke up to find him in the shower and the whole season had been a dream. That would certainly fit other type rip offs they have done on the show.

Ooops just saw your reply. I bet your right.

..... also hopin its a hoax!
It's not a hoax, it's a ratings ploy. November is sweeps time for the networks.

[EZWind]

It's just MacFarlane being lazy/tired and wanting to do less work.....
Tired? OK, I'll grant ya that. But, besides also doing Peter, Stewie and Quagmire, he's got the American Dad and Cleveland Show plus the Ted movie in there, and an album full of old big band standard tunes thrown in for good measure. Lazy? I don't think so

[EZWind]

I hope they do bring Brian back. Vinnie sucks.
Whoah! Ayyy! Yhhoo! That's Paulie from the Soprano's you're talkin about....he's great.

You're right on that score. Stewie's gotta rebuild the machine. Those time travel/multiverse shows were the best things they did.

[BellaBellucci]

Time travel. That is all.
