Family Guy character killed off (spoilers)

[Alidar Jarok]

The writing staff is so lazy they have PETER telling Lois what an obnoxious voice she has.

Isn't that reference like ten years ago?

ETA: Nevermind, it was apparently from Something, Something, Something Dark Side (which explains why I remember it, because it actually would have been a Family Guy episode I watched). Although is he making fun of Lois's voice or Princess Leah's voice?

He'll make a full recovery in Tahiti...

I hear it's a magical place.

The show's sputtering so much that I'm not sure killing a worthless character would make much of a change. That being said, there's an interesting quote recently from Seth McFarlane about how he expected people to be sick of the show by now and is disappointed that there are so many that don't want it canceled. Maybe he just wants to kill off those who have any interest in it.

Maybe, he's always struck me as a person who has little more then contempt for his audience.

I haven't seen the episode, but I can thank dozens of websites for immediately telling me just hours after the episode aired (and without spoiler warnings, of course). .

Yeah, this was kind of annoying.

It's FOX, Brian was a Liberal. He had to go.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Wrong FOX. Remember, The Simpsons and FG take regular shots at the news network.

''Isn't that reference like ten years ago?''----Alidair Jarok.

Lois's voice, roughly five years ago or so. I still remember.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

I pretty much stopped watching the show after "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven." But from what I have seen, the show really tanked in quality after the relaunch.

 

[bigdaddy]

Fox will never cancel Family Guy again because even as the ratings have fallen it's still highly rated and has syndication deals.

MacFarlane has admitted he never thought the show would go on for as long as it has. I think they should go all out and have Stewie slide into another universe to find Brian and then sped a whole season looking for home. It's a cartoon, they need to do more crazy shit and less stupid random shit.

 

[Ar-Pharazon]

Stewie goes on some sort of vision-quest to the puppy farm & finds "new, new Brian".

 

[Guy Gardener]

How long did it take him to grow back hair?

FOX just leaped over the last 3 month's of Brian's life, because he was too ugly.

We are awful.

Family Guy to bring back Brian...

Spoiler: Here's How:

...in obvious testament to the power of Internet protests, human spirit

 

[Mr Light]

How "shocking"

 

[publiusr]

Sort of like Worf getting his spine back.

Now kids, sing together and...

 

[bigdaddy]

Weird, I thought they were going to have the other dog for 6 episodes, so what's this, two-three episodes and they bring him back?

Maybe they should do a Search for Brian special.

 

[Aldo]

Wow...even comic book characters stay dead longer than Brian.

 

[mythme]

They should bring Cleveland back too. His show sucked but when he left the dynamic with Peter, Quagmire and Joe wasn't the same.

 

[ManOnTheWave]

I just assumed at some point the family would go to a pet store or shelter and discover And adopt an identical dog.

 

[chardman]

And this week, Peter and Quagmire become pop stars, Upon returning home, Peter commits suicide on his tour bus. I've no doubt that he'll be alive next week, as if nothing has happened. Such is the nature of the cartoon universe.

And as anyone who's watched Family Guy for a significant amount of time knows, the show features one-off gags but also has some ongoing storylines. I'm going to go out on a crazy limb and suggest that if Brian's death isn't a permanent development then it's at least going to be a multi-episode arc.
