Last night as I watched the new episode of Family Guy I was under the impression that Brian dying was just a little unfunny joke. It wasn't until I saw on my twitter feed which made me realize that Brian will no longer be on Family Guy. My initial thought was why would they do this? Then I thought why do I care?
Why did Family Guy kill off one of their main characters? Well the only logical explanation is to create publicity so that people would be talking about it. Let's face it Family Guy has been around for a while and changing things up seemed to be necessary. The writers of Family Guy wasted no time and already a new dog named Vinny is now in the Griffin family.
It should be noted that The Simpsons also talked about killing off a main character. Maybe once again Family Guy is "borrowing" ideas from The Simpsons.
Now as the cartoon continues Stewie no longer has his best friend. It should be interesting what the writers decide to do with this new scenery. Whats even more interesting is that their has now been two dogs with the ability to communicate with humans on the show.
Brian was a classic character and even though its just a cartoon, its sad to see this happen. Watch the video below for a classic Brian Griffin moment
