Default Family Guy kill off MAJOR character (spoiler)
It happened in the episode that aired last night.

Spoiler:

Quote:
Spoiler alert: Stop reading if you don’t want to know who died on ‘Family Guy!’

Fox warned us that Family Guy would be killing off a member of the Griffin family on the show’s Nov. 24 episode, but even with advanced notice, nothing could have prepared fans for the loss of such a crucial character. Seriously, not since the death of legendary newswoman Diane Simmons have we been this speechless while discussing Family Guy. So who died, and why? Read on for the tragic truth.

Yes, the Griffins’ beloved dog Brian (voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane) ended up being the character killed off this week’s episode. We learned that Brian had been hit by a car, and unfortunately, Stewie (also voiced by Seth) was unable to go back in time to stop it, as he’d just disassembled his time machine.

Oh, and Brian was “replaced” by a new dog named Vinny, which is also super-ridiculous.

“This was an idea that got pitched in the writers room and it sort of caught fire, and we thought it could be a fun way to shake things up,” executive producer Steve Callaghan tells E! Online. ”We started talking about what the next couple episodes could be and we got very excited about the way this change will affect the family dynamics and the characters.”

Steve explains that killing off a human member of the family would be “too traumatic,” so the writers settled on the dog. As for how Mila Kunis, Seth Green and the other stars reacted to the news, Steve says they were “surprised.” Also, they were “glad it wasn’t them.”

If Brian definitely is gone for good that's Family Guy as good as over for me...

Why kill off a member of the family at all?

..I never see the necessity to kill off a 'cartoon character' unless the 'voice' can no longer do it but even then, they could be replaced if it was appropriate...it kind of seems to scream, failing TV series but if that was it then killing off a popular character wouldn't change that for more than a very short time...

Seems like a bit of a cheap move to get ratings if you ask me.

tsssssssssssssssssssssk how can they do this. yeah he's just a cartoon character but like a sitcom character people were used to them and the dynamics, and when you kill off a regular it starts to feel weird and life a different show.


Oh well, I always preferred American dad.

Brian was the worst character (chris is a close second) so I'm not unhappy about this

Chris would have been better to kill off, such a pointless character.

Brian always came across as basically a soapbox for McFarlane, so I'm not too bothered he's gone.

it was announced they were killing off a Griffin, but not which. I assume most thought it'd be Peter's mum or something. (idk if she's already dead)
